[NFBCS] Jaws and sound cutting out

[Doug Lee]

THOSE LOOK BAD! I would not install that.

So next question: Where did you get the application? The app itself was ok when it came out as far as I know,
so I wonder if your source for it may have added things to it that were not originally there.

Hi Curtis. I got Silencio and tried to run it. My virus detection software would not let me install it however. Any comments on the following list from that software:

Interesting. You didn't have any such problems?

Hello Tracy:

Here is a link to a web page which will enable you to download a program called Silenzio.

Here is a link to the executable:
http://www.stefankiss.sk/programy/silenzio/Silenzio_1.0_setup.exe

Just run this program on your computer, and the problem goes away.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

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.

Tracy
