It may be influenced by how many Apps you have open and their size taking up RAM, so as the machine wakes up it may be giving priority to something other than VO initially ???

I know others have mentioned it on the list, seems as if it may be specific to the Macbook Air. When coming out of sleep mode, Voiceover goes silent. other audio functions like music play, so it isn't the general sound system. In the past I could replicate it by pulling my headphones out after the unit went to sleep, and when I woke it up again no sound. It isn't that Voiceover is muted, I've had sighted assistance confirm that, and that Voiceover is indeed on and controlling the computer. The only fix is to cycle Voiceover on and off with command F5, but you have to hit the command 4 times. It hadn't happened in months, leading me to think some update had mysteriouslly fixed it, but the last few days it has happened most times I've brought the unity out of sleep, always when the screen is open and the sleep time just kicks in. Any thoughts? Anyone else still having this problem?
