Catherine, I too have gotten used to having very quick bits of info
about what's going on with system sounds. Besides, when I was using
WE through software, it was the only way to tell if Window-eyes had
crashed or if the machine was still up. For now I am so grateful that
my old DecTalk Express still works and We is now out of the way of my
sound card. But I have one more thing to check before I do a trial
give-up of system sounds.
And for the person who asked, this only refers to the basic Windows
sounds like startup, shutdown, question, etc. But there are plenty of
times when I'll hear the question sound and Window-eyes doesn't have
anything to say. The sound tells me to hunt around with mouse keys.
Same thing for failed hardware, if that happens. But I'm now going to
research these little programs like playsound.exe and a few others
I've found, just to see where it gets me. Sheesh!
