The subject says it all. For the past few weeks my Dell Xps-8500 desktop running Windows 8 and Window-eyes 8.0 after a prolonged shut down, say overnight, boots to the desktop without the Windows startup sound and Window-eyes talking. Yet, a restart brings up the Windows sound, Window-eyes talking, and the computer boots to the start screen.
During a support call to explain my issues, Steven Clower suggested that my Real Tech audio driver might need to be updated. I went to the Real Tech site and couldn't figure out where to find audio drivers. Well, I went back into the Windows control panel, found the Real Tech playback tab, pressed enter on set default, and now have no sounds at all. Other than finding sighted help which is limited, does anybody have suggestions? I have no Windows sounds, yet the computer acts like it is booting into Windows. Help! I am using my Dell Xps-501 laptop running Windows 7 64 bit and Outlook 2010 to send this e-mail. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
