I have a Windows-7 professional computer with the latest versions of Windoweyes and Kurzweil-1000. Here's the problem:
I'm using a Creative Labs Soundblaster Z sound card. Everything was working fine until my Soundblaster started crackling - all sounds, not just speech. The crackling would go away for a while when I did a restart, then come back again. My computer tech guru switched my sounds (including speech) from the Soundblaster to the on-board sound (the chip on the motherboard) and things were fine; no crackling.. He found out that Creative Labs had issued a driver on March 1st for the Soundblaster-Z card which fixes the crackling problem. Unfortunately, when he downloaded and installed the driver, all speech - both for Windoweyes and K1000 - went away. All other windows sounds are working fine. Just no speech; no synthesizers work. We rolled back the drivers to the previous version and restarted; still no speech. We've gone back to the onboard sound - everything works fine. Has anybody got any suggestions re what's causing this problem and how to fix it? Thanks. John Riehl If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
