Hi Slau, thanks for your reply and I sort of thought that Voice Over might be reading something slightly different to what might be on the screen. I am hoping that I might be able to do a TeamsView session with Jamie from Hush Pro to see if there are any settings that need changing.
I have uninstalled Hush Pro and downloaded it again which did not seem to resolve the issue so I might try and do that again and make sure I have removed everything relating to Hush Pro. Just a bit frustrating when you are not sure what is going wrong. Hush Pro is a great plugin and if I could get the Hush Split to work as well that would be good to be able to fade the background noise up and down for certain situations.
