[JAWS-Users] List Guidelines Reminder
Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader Program. So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we all know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently. Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It creates a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than first. So try it yourself first what ever it might happen to be. If you get stuck then let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma. Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with JAWS is perfectly fine. The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of Freedom Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then I suggest you take it up with Freedom Scientific directly. Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also any news letters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval. Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done for your protection. The message list might state that there is an attachment but in fact Mailman does remove them. When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply delete messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 550 subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here. Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions that are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not receive an answer for a number of reasons. Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list. There you will find the group web address along with some other relevant information pertaining to contacting the management team ETC. Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you may receive an email from the Mailman program asking you to reactivate your account. Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and follow the directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after receiving a number of such messages then we will figure that you no longer wish to be a member of the list and remove your email address. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given subject is off topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any member names. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing but clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. Lastly please no jokes, virus warnings, recipes, safety tips, or pleas to help dying kids, should ever be forwarded to the list. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the list. Additionally

Quite simply, I'm running JAWS 12 on a Windows 7 system with a Realtech HD soundcard. With my previous SB Live card in XP it was a simple matter of plug and play to swap between headphones and speakers but this does not seem to be the case now. While I generally work with headphones, there are times when I wish to switch to speaker configuration and would like instructions on how to do this. My sighted husband is available in case of major disasters, but his usual approach is to disable JAWS while stumbling toward whatever solution and he is not particularly good at explaining his steps so that I can learn them. In this situation he had configured the speakers temporarily, but at reboot I was unable to bring up anything but system sounds via speakers, though again headphones worked fine. I've attempted to look around the audio manager and speakers dialogues but still seem to be missing something, so step by step help would be best. Many thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] setting up/configuring speakers
Susan, I no longer have jaws 12 installed but I think the same steps will work. Bring jaws into focus.

Quite simply, I'm running JAWS 12 on a Windows 7 system with a Realtech HD soundcard. With my previous SB Live card in XP it was a simple matter of plug and play to swap between headphones and speakers but this does not seem to be the case now. While I generally work with headphones, there are times when I wish to switch to speaker configuration and would like instructions on how to do this. My sighted husband is available in case of major disasters, but his usual approach is to disable JAWS while stumbling toward whatever solution and he is not particularly good at explaining his steps so that I can learn them. In this situation he had configured the speakers temporarily, but at reboot I was unable to bring up anything but system sounds via speakers, though again headphones worked fine. I've attempted to look around the audio manager and speakers dialogues but still seem to be missing something, so step by step help would be best. Many thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Unmuting Windows System Volume
Here are the key strokes I use to get to my volume. Assuming there's nothing on the system tray starting with the letter s. because on my machine it's called speekers. also assuming jaws is running. 1. hit insert f 11. 2. hit s for speekers 3. hit enter twice. 4. tab once. 5. hit space. that should un mute the speekers. -Original Message- From: Mike B.
