Hi Bhavya, In the JAWS utilities menue, under sound card sub menue, check which one has been set. You should set the soundcard setting to something like high definition audio. May be it would solve your issue.

Sometimes, the pin which is inserted in the jack happens to be stereophonic. And the the hardware does not support it. Sometimes, the port is incompatible with the headphone jack. One other reason may be that proper drivers for the related hardware are not installed. In this case, all other audio files are audible but the speech synthesizers follow a strict discipline regarding display/audio hardware, these voices remain in conflict with the unauthorized hardware driver.

So, I let the speakers remain. Now, I am encountering another audio-related issue. I use Logitech headphones, which when I plug fully, that is when the wire is fully inserted into the corresponding port, does not give audio output from my screen readers (both NVDA & JAWS) and another audio producing electronic piano application, however, does give audio output from a song being played in VLC Media Player. When I half plug the headphones, that is part of the headphone wire is in the jack, and part is out, I get full audio output from everywhere. Preferably, and normally, the headphone should be fully plugged in, to recieve complete audio output, but in my case, it isn't so. Do you all have any suggestions? This has happened just now suddenly, and I'm unsure of whats happening with the audio in my laptop. I'll be sending it for servicing after my exams get over, which are till 20th March, for which I'll be using this computer to study. Half plugged headphones are totally usable, but strange. Thansks, and hope I was somewhat clear. I would appreciate any assistance. -- Warm Regards Bhavya Let me wish you a very Happy New Year before the phone lines get jammed and internet hanged.
