Neal: At this point, it really isn't a Studio Recorder problem, since you can exit Studio Recorder and still have no speech. What you need to do is get into the Windows volume control, and turn up the main output level, and the wave output level, and make sure they are both unchecked. You could hit Windows+R and type sndvol32 to get into the volume control from anywhere. At that point, you should be on the first balance control. You would probably be ok to press Tab followed by Home to turn up the first fader, then thre tabs and home to turn up the next fader and so on. If that doesn't work, close the volume control and restart it so you know where you are. Then, try hitting tab twice then space bar to toggle the first mute switche. You could then continue hitting Tab Tab Space to toggle successive mute switches. Of course, if they are already not muted, you aren't making your life any easier! Finally, if this doesn't work, find a USB sound device, plug it in, and use it to get your other sound card going. The H2 works for this, but you have to know how to make it a sound card. When you do get speech back, just be sure Intercom Mode is unchecked in the Options menu, and don't work about the Intercom Settings.

I was playing around in the intercom settings and pressed automatically enable line for recording. I may have pressed some other buttons as well, but now, my sound card has no speech. At one point, it would speak with JAWS as long as I had Studio recorder loaded, but when I closed it, JAWS and all other speech went away. I tried to get it back to what I thought the settings would be, and now I am back to no speech at all. Can someone tell me what the default monitor settings are. You might have to walk me through the steps to do this with no speech. If you want to call or skype me, that would be OK too. I would appreciate any help I can get because I am dead in the water with no speech for JAWS. Contact information is below.
