moderated Still Have Problems Activating Windows Startup Sound
|
Tom Behler
Dave and all:
I followed the instructions below for activating the windows start-up sound, and play windows startup sound is checked. However, when I shut down and then re-boot my computer, the start-up sound does not play. I am referring here to the older computer that I recently updated to Windows 10 from Windows 7. I believe that the windows start-up sound played immediately after I did the update, but no longer plays after I downloaded and installed new Dell drivers for my system. Is there anything else I should check? Tom Behler How to turn on the "play Windows startup sound" function in Windows 10 1. When you are at the desktop, tap the WINDOWS Key, and type "change system sounds" (without the quotes, in the search edit field. Generally, as soon as you type the two letters ch, Windows usually delimits to this result. If it does, press ENTER, to open the utility. 2. When the utility opens, JAWS will speak some Windows information about system sound themes. If you do not wish to listen to the information, Tap the CTRL key, to stop JAWS speaking the infomation. 3, Tap the TAB key, until JAWS says, "play Windows startup sound". JAWS will tell you it is unchecked. This is the default setting. 4. Tap the SPACE BAR, to check the check box. 5. Tap the TAB key until you get to the Apply button, press the SPACE BAR, to apply the change 6. Tap the TAB key, until you get to the OK button, Press the SPACE BAR or, the ENTER key, to activate the OK button, to close the utility and return the system to the Desktop. 7. When you turn on the computer, restart Windows or, you wake the computer using either the Sleep mode or, Hibernation Mode, the play Windows startup sound will be played. 8. After you hear the Windows Startup sound, if you are someone who needs to enter a Windows password or, a Microsoft account password to log in to Windows, and you have not installed another screen reader or, you have, but it has not been set to start at the Log on screen, this is where you need to press CTRL+WINDOWS KEY+ENTER, to start Narrator. When Narrator starts speaking, Narrator should tell you , that you are at the point where you need to enter the Windows password or, the Microsoft account password to log into Windows. 9. If you are someone who has disabled the default log on screen, when you hear the play Windows startup sound, Windows is at the Desktop. If you have not installed another screen reader or, you have, but it has not been set to start after Windows Log on, this is where you need to press CTRL+WINDOWS KEY+ENTER, to start Narrator and get access to Windows.

Hi, Tom. On some computers, the startup sound won't play unless Fast Startup is checked.

I hate to ask this, but could you send me any instructions for checking fast start-up? Up until now, I've avoided this because it seemed like having fast startup enabled created more issues than it solved. But, perhaps I'm wrong, and need to re-think this. I can get away without the Windows start-up sound, but it is nice to have so you get a quick indication of the status of your computer when re-booting. Thanks! Tom Behler

Fast Start Up is uncheck on all my machines, and the Windows start up sound works. The issue I believe is that no start up sound is defined in your sound scheme, in that case, it won't work.

This seems to be a problem with a setting to do with an audio driver for some DELL computers. It has been discussed several times on the list over the past 18 months or so. Maybe, someone who has a DELL PC/laptop, may know what the problem could be an dwill probably be able to solve the problem for you. Dave

In my experience, whenever I have installed Windows 10, the Windows Startup sound has always been defined and active in the Windows default sound scheme. Dave

You said in a previous message, after you followed my instructions on how to turn on the Windows Startup sound, when you restarted the computer, the Windows Startup sound did play but, it has not played subsequently, when you have either powered on the computer or, restarted Windows! The fact that the Windows Startup sound has played once, indicates there maybe a problem with the DELL audio driver or, drivers or, has something to do with an audio setting. I do not have a DELL computer, so I cannot help you further. Hopefully, someone on the list may have some suggestions for you. Dave

Hi, Tom. I have a question. Do you have a secondary sound card installed in your Dell? If so, the system sounds may be going to the default sound card, and JAWS and all other sounds to the secondary sound card. This could be why you aren't hearing your startup sound.

If there is a second sound card installed, and Windows has chosen to use the sound card as the default sound source, not only would all sounds go to that sound card, JAWS would as well, Unless Tom has JAWS specifically set to use the on-board sound card. And of course, if Tom does not have headphones or speakers connected to the sound card, he would hear, The name of the village in Dylan Thomas's poem, Under Milk Wood, which was called, llregub, that is, bugger all spelled backwards. I wish i could get Eloquence using the British English or the US English, to pronounce l l at the beginning of Llaggerub correctly, the way the Welsh pronounce ll. Dave

I have a question. Do you have a secondary sound card installed in your Dell? If so, the system sounds may be going to the default sound card, and JAWS and all other sounds to the secondary sound card. This could be why you aren't hearing your startup sound.

The windows startup sound is checked, but I still don't get the sound when I boot up my computer. I'm told that I might have to enable "fast startup" in order to make this happen. Can you confirm this? Tom Behler

Yes, I do have a secondary sound card, but, at least as far as I can tell, re-arranging the sound card configurations has not allowed the startup sound to come back. Will continue to check this possibility out, though. Tom Behler

Hi Tom,

None of my computers have fast start up enabled, yet the start up sound works on all three of them. My suspicion is that you have more than one sound card and the start up sound is going to the wrong one.
