i have neospeech, useing the on board realtek sound with no problems. it sounds like the sound blaster driver is still not working. thats why i stopped useing sound blaster 8 years ago. it was constantly crashing all the time. and neo speech is old? its still sapi 5 and is the only voices i like and use. it puts all the others to shame. the 16 bit version are very clear with no distortion. the only thing i did was turn down the bass to make them even clearer.

Also in the communications tab, set it to Do Nothing rather than Reduce Volume. You should get better performance. Bear in mind though that Neo Paul is Mega Old. All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: Samuel Wilkins [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 30 August 2013 17:17 To: [email protected] Subject: Synthesizer Crash Problems with New Sound Card Hello everyone, I recently changed my sound card to a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD, and since then, when using Window-Eyes, I am periodically getting random crashes when using the Sapi Speech Synthesizer, and I am using the Neospeech Paul voice. When a crash happens, any sound that is playing turns into a continuous buzzing sound, and I have to restart the computer. I have tried using my Doubletalk LT hardware synthesizer, and although sometimes it starts coming out with mixed up letters and numbers, but it is resolved by turning the synthesizer off and on again. I have made sure that I have the latest drivers for my sound card, and I have run the diagnostics programme, to no avail, which makes me think it is a Window-Eyes problem. Has anyone else had this problem? Thank you. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
