Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 8 and Windows Vista
Hi all, I'm now using the public beta of JAWS 9, and it's as responsive as how JAWS 8 was under XP. Should I still update my audio drivers, or, as they say, if it aint broke, don't fix it? Thanks in advance. - Original Message - From: Scott Berry [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, November 09, 2007 3:35 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 8 and Windows Vista Eric and Michael, I would suggest that Chris visit this site here is where you can get all the drivers you need for Sony: http://www.esupport.sony.com and then just put in your model number and it will guide you to the proper page.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 8 and Windows Vista
Hi, I tried to download the latest audio driver for my laptop, and it's stuck. Either the download is extremely slow for a LAN connection, or is just simply not working. I'll try again later, and keep you updated. - Original Message - From: Eric Damery [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, November 09, 2007 3:23 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 8 and Windows Vista Mark, This is not always the case Mark.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 8 and Windows Vista
Chris, There is no reason to update your audio drivers. The people that need to do this in Vista will know it. It is way to painful to use when using XP Audio drivers in Vista as was the case on some of the computers we have been seeing this year. Glad to hear your using Vista and finding it so responsive. We think a lot of Vista users will be pleased when they install JAWS 9.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 8 and Windows Vista
Mark, This is not always the case Mark. Windows Updates do not always have the most current drivers. It is best to go to the manufacturer (HP in this case), and look for drivers under downloads on their pages. You will just need to have all the details about your laptop model and the Audio Chipset you have. If you get stuck, you may want to call to Freedom Scientific support and they may assist you on this one.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 8 and Windows Vista
Eric and Michael, I would suggest that Chris visit this site here is where you can get all the drivers you need for Sony: http://www.esupport.sony.com and then just put in your model number and it will guide you to the proper page. Once at that page click on drivers and you probably want to then click on either Updated Drivers or Sony may have a link for Windows Vista if that is what Chris is using.

You can try Narrator on the machine and I suspect you will see the same sluggish audio response when typing which verifies this issue. Most manufacters did not have proper audio drivers done for Vista until well after Vista released so we have seen alot of this. Even with the updated drivers, it still will not feel as responsive as XP. Installing JAWS 9 will then feel very responsive. Even under XP, you'll find JAWS 9 more responsive.

If it is a Dell laptop, you will need to download updated drivers for the sound card. Denny Huff Gateway FT Blind LLC.
