I'd like to share some info, which I have posted before, but is worth
repeating, with regards to losing sound.
Firstly, with regards to the ding sound which is generated by the
windows operating system.
I some times lose sound after hearing the ding sound.
This happens in explorer, Firefox, internet explorer, wordpad, notepad.
My solution:
I unplug the usb connection for my headset, and WE7.2 starts speaking
via my external speakers. I then replug my usb headset and everything
is back to normal.
In this case, windows lost sound to my headset, which is a known bug to
all windows operating systems.
Now, another known bug for all windows operating systems is that
keyboard stops functioning.
I use a wireless keyboard, and when I lose sound, I hit windows key on
my usb keyboard and sometimes my sound is back.
In this case, my wireless keyboard stopped functioning.
Now, sometimes the usb keyboard is not responding either.
In this case, I unplug the usb keyboard and wait for a ding sound, and
then I replug the usb keyboard, and this sometimes does the trick, and
keyboard is working again.
However, sometimes the lost of sound is caused by a WE7.2 crash.
In this case, I use a batch file to shutdown window eyes.(batch file
instruction at bottom of email)
2, and I am back to normal.
However, sometimes after restarting WE7.2 after closing it using the
batch file, nothing works on the keyboard, except control alt delete,
and nothing in that menu works except shutdown, which is the icon on the
lower right.
Good luck to all.
Aloha,
Manny

p.s. Here's the instructions for making a batch file to kill window eyes:
,
download pskill from:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896683
:
then copy and paste
pskill.exe
to
c:\windows (folder)
copy the following:
pskill wineyes.exe -t
S
to a notepad document, and save it as:
kill_we.bat
then create a short-cut to the batch file and place it on the desktop.
then right click on the short-cut and press r for property
then tab to hot key and give it a hotkey.
I use control alt 0
Good luck,

GW does work with MS on things they can actuallly do. You're
forgetting a much larger picture here. MS isn't the manufacturer of
the sound chips. They certainly are not in any control over the
drivers that control the hardware. Companies can have their drivers
signed but that doesn't absolutely mean that there won't be conflicts
with other drivers or programs on the specific machine. Sound issues
are far beyond MS and GW alone.

With general computer operations sound is not too important for a non
screen reader user. Since it is so important for us WE users it
would seem to me that GW should be pushing a solution from
Microsoft. GW has stated in the past that they work closely with
Microsoft so why not now?

I agree. I had to help someone's mother with their computer, and they'd
lost sound. They were sighted, and didn't use any screen reader.

those not running screen readers have had the experience of loss of
sound.
