I know someone here in NZ who has had a similar situation on a reasonably new mac book,
So it's not a device age issue it's to me a driver issue, surely then that would be a bootcamp driver which is of course an apple thing not windows. -----Original Message----- From: 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] Sent: Friday, 12 January 2018 2:25 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: VMware Fusion 10.1.1 and BootCamp Yeah, Simon. It's easy to do. Problem is that last time I had sighted assistance here, we finished the Windows installation with sighted help. We installed NVDA without speech. We confirmed that volume was not muted and was at around 50%. Lastly, there's a "test" button on the Windows configuration screen that graphically shows some kind of progress indicator while sound is playing, so my sighted assistant could verify that Windows was playing sound. I'm confident it's a driver issue, or a driver plus Windows security kind of combination issue. There are those in the security community that consider audio a security risk. I've bumped heads with them before. I've still got the bruises! <grin> Janina Simon Fogarty writes: > Hey ladys, > I just had a crazy thought, > > Janina, > > Could you have muted the volume with f10? > > Remember by deault the Function keys aren’t windows function keys > unless you hold down the fn key, > > You can change this in the mac os under system preferences / keyboard, > > Just a thought I’ve done this myself a couple of times. > > From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Georgina Joyce > Sent: Wednesday, 10 January 2018 11:47 PM > To: AppleVis List <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> > Subject: Re: VMware Fusion 10.1.1 and BootCamp > > Hello Janina, > > Interestingly, I lost sound on my bootcamp install of Windows 10 and blamed > it on activation of jaws.
