Hi Paul tried the steps you gave me with no success, speakers are built into the lapptop, jaws appears to be working ok, yes sighted people do use lapptop ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Traynor To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, June 18, 2007 7:27 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: problem with sound Hi Rodney, Let us know a little more information for example; *. is jaws talking correctly? *. Are you using speakers attached to the computer or are the speakers built into a laptop?. *. One of the major culprits, has anyone sighted been using your computer?. What you can try is the following; 1. Open the start menu, then go into the programs menu and then to accessories followed by down arrowing to the entertainment sub menu so right arrow in here. 2. Now arrow down to volume control and press the enter key. 3. Now tab key just once and when jaws says "up down slider" press the page up key to push it up to the top. 4. Once that is done, press the tab key aanother 3 times to yet another up down slider and again use the page up key to push it up to the top if it isn't already, you will know it is as jaws might say "100%". 5. Now press the tab key another few times till you come to the "CD volume" and to its up down slider. Make sure this is also up to the 100% mark. Please note that you should leave the "left right slider at 50% in all cases, only concern yourself with the up down slider. 6. Finally, tab along to each of the "checkboxes" and make sure that none of these boxes are checked, if any of them is checked then use the spacebar to uncheck it. 7. When all this is done use keys "alt + F4" to close out of the volume control and try another CD. Paul. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rodney McManus Sent: 18 June 2007 14:15 To: Vip student list Subject: [vip_students] problem with sound Hi listmembers have a query hopefully someone can help. when i go to listen to a song on my lapptop it says its playing but theres no volume, same problem when i go to listen to a radio station, thanks for your help much appreciated. regards rodney ******************************************************************** NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
