[NFBCS] Jaws and sound cutting out

[John Gardner]

Doug, my computer is so overstressed with protective software that it rejects basically anything that has anything whatsoever "different" about it. I seriously doubt that my computer could be running something that could corrupt that file. FYI I just followed the link that Curtis gave in his first post on Silencio. The version 2.1 seems okay except that the author has no MS license. (As most individuals do not)

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
