[GUI-Talk] A Question about sound on computer when using headphones

[Curtis Chong]

Hello:

With the new JAWS update (2021), there is the ability to avoid speech cut
off when using headphones or some speech sound cards. Have you already
activated this without success?

If you can't find this setting, let us know.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

I've had a problem for the past few months on my Dell laptop where the Jaws
sound was clipped, usually skipping the first word or syllable.  I switched
from the eloquence speech engine to sapi 5 and that fixed the problem.  I
suspect it is a problem with the sound card driver provided by Dell, but I
have no proof.

Hello all,

I have a pair of Sony headphones (earbuds) that can connect by Bluetooth or
the standard wired earphone jack. I am using them with JAWS on my DELL
laptop. I notice that when I plug them in JAWS sounds like an echo and kind
of tinny. I also noticed that sometimes the first letter of a word is
clipped a little. These are the only headphones though one of the newer Sony
brand that sound like this. I have used other earbuds like  Bose and I don't
get a bad sound quality. The Sonys sound perfect when used over Bluetooth
with my iPhone or iPad. I have looked at my volume settings and cannot find
anything that might fix the problem. Maybe someone has an idea. Thanks for
any assistance.
