Hi all,
Well, just to update my problem with VO at the login screen...
I was reading some forums on the net, and people were talking about not having
any sound at startup. They said that the startup chime didn't even play. So,
I decided to restart my Mac and see if my startup chime played... couldn't
recall if it was playing or not. Well, I shut down the computer, started it
again, and, the startup chime played, and, then, much to my surprise, VO came
on at the login screen! Very weird!! I didn't change a thing. It just
started working after not working for probably over a week.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help with this.
Russell :)
