  2. Jaws Distorted Speech Problem Has Returned

Re: Jaws Distorted Speech Problem Has Returned

Mike:

 

It’s really strange, because under sound card in the Jaws utilities menu, I have two selections—default sound card, and realtech sound card.  I can check or un-check either of them, and the change makes no difference.

 

I think I’m going to call Freedom Scientific and perhaps the Microsoft Accessibility Hotline about this tomorrow.

 

In my view, this is an issue that both FS and Microsoft need to be aware of, and I have a hard time believing I’m the only one experiencing it.

 

Again, the problem recurred after a documented Windows 10 sound driver update yesterday evening.

Hi Tom,

 

In this case the default soundcard and the Realtech soundcard are 1 in the same since the Realtech is your only soundcard and set as the default, from what I'm understanding anyways.


Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.  Go Dodgers!
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

Yes, I believe so.

The problem occurs whether I use the Windows default sound card or the
real-tech sound card.

In other words, switching sound cards in the Jaws utilities menu does not
make a difference.

Are you sure you are still using the realtech driver?
