[NFBCS] Jaws and sound cutting out

[Tracy Carcione]

I am having the problem with sound cutting out from a hard-wired speaker
after Jaws has been quiet for a minute.  I tell Jaws to read, or move my
cursor, and it doesn't start talking until the middle of the line.  

I located the instructions Jaws has for fixing this problem by continually
sending silence to the speaker, but my version of Jaws doesn't have the
settings described in the fix.  

I am running Jaws 2020.2001.  I am not going to update my Jaws version.  I
sweated blood getting it to work with terminal emulation, and I was not able
to replicate what I did on any other laptop, so I'm not making any major
changes.  

That given, is there anything I can do to stop the audio starting late? I
could call Jaws tech support, but I don't have much confidence they'd be
able to help me with my older version of Jaws.
