Hi,
Odds are it's your sound card that's at issue here.  Several years ago I worked 
on a number of systems that had this problem and the solution was to update the 
sound card driver.  Give that a try and let us know how it sounds afterwords.  
If you still have the problem, I can dig around in my system and see if I have 
a driver package that solved it.

  Subject: weird speech after installing XP



  Hi all.  I'm not sure if this is a JAWS thing or not, but ever since I had XP 
installed on my seven-plus year old Dell desktop pc, my Eloquence speech has 
been a little weird.  When I press the "say line", I get a staticy click noise 
after the line is done being spoken.  Then if I hid a "say current character" 
key, I get the character then I get an echoing, statical, fuzzy repetition of 
the same character, kind of weird electronic ghost sounds for about two or 
three times in a row.  Any ideas?  Is this JAWS, Eloquence, or my sound card?  
Other things don't sound strange, for example audio streams of different things 
and the login sound are normal and pure.  I am running JAWS 8 so the version is 
not the problem. 

  Thanks in advance.
