[Trainer-Talk] Odd computer situation

[Greg Aikens]

Another option could be to check for updates to your audio drivers. I know I was having some weirdness where the JAWS voice was crackling, not switching automatically from speaker to headphone, and the audio service was crashing so that there was no sound. I updated the driver through Control Panel and haven't had any more issues.

insert j to menu, utilities, sound and change under there. Really play
around with those options and it will give you the hang of how things get
changed with just a tiny update
