Yes, that's my problem, too.
Mike, did you find it?

I can't find a refreshscreen script. Anywhere. Not sure where it is hiding.

Hi Adrian,
Okay I'm sure as hell no scripting aficionado, but here's what you can
try beginning with step 6. My input is below the step number.
6. Look for the script called, refreshScreen.
Here press, Control + f, to open the Find dialog and type,
RefreshScreen, and press enter, then press escape to put you on,
ScriptRefreshScreen.
7. Inside that script there is a line that says something like unmute
sound card.
Down arrow 10 or 11 times to, UnmuteJawsSoundcard(), and you put / type
a semicolon at the beginning of this line.
8. Control s to compile / save. When you press, Control + S, you'll
hear a sound, then Jaws reports Compile complete.
9. Close script manager and restart jaws.
Stay safe and take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.

Hi. Several of you posted suggestions for how to enable me to stop JAWS
key+escape from unmuting sound. I can get partway through the steps,
but I get stuck at 6. I wrote the steps in a way I could understand
them, and I copy them below. Can anyone suggest how I get around the
problem?
To stop your sound unmuting when you hit the refresh screen command,
modify the jaws refreshScreen script in script manager.
1. Press JAWS key+j to open JAWS.
2. Open utilities, then arrow down to script manager. Press enter to open.
3. press alt+f
4. Down-arrow to open shared file.
5. Open the default.jss file. Do this by typing "default" into the edit
field and tabbing to the "open" button.
6. Look for the script called, refreshScreen.
7. Inside that script there is a line that says something like unmute
sound card.
8. Select and delete that line. Or precede it with a semicolon to negate it.
9. Control s to save
10. Recompile the script which will then save it as a user script,
taking priority over your shared jaws scripts.
11. Close script manager and restart jaws. You should hear the message
compile complete.

Another way to negate a command in a script is to put a semicolon at
the beginning of the line before compiling. that way if you ever want
the command back, it's available.

select and delete that line of the script then hit control s to save
and recompile the script which will then save it as a user script and
that will take priority over your shared jaws scripts. Now close
script manager and restart jaws if you hear the message compile
complete. And now that the unMute sound card line is out of there,
jaws should not unmute sound every time you want to refresh the
screen. Now if you want to get more complicated than that, you may be
able to add a condition to the script and so the script will check
and see if anything such as mucic is playing and if it is, then jaws
will not unmute sound card, but if it is not, then jaws will ttry
unmuting the sound card. but I am not advanced enough with scripting to know how to do that.
