Re: VMWare Fusion Question or Two
Hello, I am facing the same issue, I can hear no sound from screen reader, be it JAWS, NVDA or Narrator. I have also tried enabling the spatial sound using the "Windows Sonic for Headphones" option, but with no success. However, if you can hear some sounds from the screen reader but just no voice and you do have an N version of Windows, such as Windows 10 Home N, I suggest trying a non-N version of Windows, such as Windows 10 Home. At least in my case it helped. Regarding the issue of hearing no sounds from the screen reader at all, I finally solved it by replacing the VMware Fusion with Parallels Desktop. You can get a free fourteen day trial version of Parallels Desktop here: https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/download/ Kind regards Adam Dne středa 5. prosince 2018 16:23:44 UTC+1 rickt...@gmail.com napsal(a): > > Hello, I signed up to this just to let you guys know to fix the audio > problem in VMware by going to the Properties of your playback device, on > the "Spatial sound" tab and enable "Windows Sonic for Headphones" > > Regards > Ric > > On Thursday, November 29, 2018 at 1:40:33 PM UTC-6, Kelly wrote: >> >> The plot thickens!

Re: VMWare Fusion Question or Two
Hello,
Yes the volume is up and again
If I play Music or other audio as well as any sounds a screen readers make I
hear that already. Also, if I switch to a USB sound card, the screen reader
audio kicks in just fine.
I guess for now I'll stay with VirtualBox and just avoid updating Windows or
reapply an older snapshot as needed.
This one is a bit perplexing to me.

Hi,
I have checked the sound cards that the screen readers are configured for
and all of that is correct. So far I've not found any errors in logs.
I use virtual machines from both VMWare and VirtualBox daily on Windows but
wanted to add a Mac to my environment for some work I'm doing and hopefully
still have access to Windows on that machine.
If nothing else, I'll just stick to the USB sound card option. That does
work well.

I'm probably stating the obvious, but have you checked that the screen
readers are configured for the default Windows sound device? They should be,
but under the VM, it's still worth verifying just to be sure.
Do any relevant error messages appear in the Windows event logs?
I haven't tried a VM on the Mac, so I can't offer advice from experience.

Hi,
A new wrinkle has emerged here. I am curious if anyone else is
experiencing this.
I used an ISO from Windows 10 version 1809 to create my virtual
machine. Sound for the VM in general is working. However, Narrator text to
speech does not seem to work correctly.
I can play music or other audio from the VM and it plays fine. In
addition, when Narrator is running, I hear the sounds Narrator makes just not
the speech.
I haven't tried other TTS, such as Eloquence with JAWS yet and am also
following up with Narrator contacts.

Hi,
I have checked this and to be clear, computer sounds, music and such plays just
fine without the USB sound card.

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is always required but by using a USB audio device, I was
able to get screen reader audio to work on the VMs. This doesn't seem like I
should have to do this but so far at least the VMs are now usable.

Hi,
A new wrinkle has emerged here. I am curious if anyone else is experiencing
this.
I used an ISO from Windows 10 version 1809 to create my virtual machine.
Sound for the VM in general is working. However, Narrator text to speech does
not seem to work correctly.
I can play music or other audio from the VM and it plays fine. In addition,
when Narrator is running, I hear the sounds Narrator makes just not the speech.
I haven't tried other TTS, such as Eloquence with JAWS yet and am also
following up with Narrator contacts.

Re: VMWare Fusion Question or Two
Kelly, Did you check under Narrator settings to make sure that the checkbox involving lowering the volume of other apps isn’t checked? That may be why other app sounds aren’t being heard. Also, I’m still on 1803 but want to go up to 1809, but whenever I check for updates on either of my two computers, they keep telling me Windows is up-to-date. How did you get the 1809 ISO?

Re: VMWare Fusion Question or Two
Hi, A new wrinkle has emerged here. I am curious if anyone else is experiencing this. I used an ISO from Windows 10 version 1809 to create my virtual machine. Sound for the VM in general is working. However, Narrator text to speech does not seem to work correctly. I can play music or other audio from the VM and it plays fine. In addition, when Narrator is running, I hear the sounds Narrator makes just not the speech. I haven't tried other TTS, such as Eloquence with JAWS yet and am also following up with Narrator contacts. Kelly On 11/28/18, 6:57 PM, "kelly ford" wrote: Thank you for this information.

Re: VMWare Fusion Question or Two
Good morning, I might have an idea as to what your problem might be. Are you running OS X Mojave?

Re: VMWare Fusion Question or Two
Hi Kelly, I’ve struggled with VMWare Fusion lots as well, but do have it going pretty much all the time now. The one trick I’ve noticed you have to do is toggle back and forth in and out of your machine’s screen while it’s starting up. I hope I can explain this correctly, here goes: When your machine starts, you’ll eventually hear VO say “suspend this guest operating system”. At that point, press Command+control+f. You’ll probably hear VO say something like space with applications followed by whatever is currently running, like finder, Mail, Messages or whatever. Press Control+command+f again, and you should hear VO say “Space with the name of your Windows machine full-screen”. At that point, you know you are in the VMWare window. Press Control+G to give keyboard focus to the VM machine. Oh yeah, and the keystroke to start Narrator won’t work, because VO is picking up the Control+Windows combination as its command. I normally do Windows+R, then type Narrator, and it does come up. Then, to get out of Narrator, I have to alt-tab to the Narrator Settings window, and when I press Alt+F4, Narrator does exit. If you can get to the point where you can in fact install JAWS, it does work pretty nicely, by the way. I started out with VMWare 10, and my USB devices, including my Focus 40 Blue, connected just fine. But then I tried upgrading to VMWare Version 11, and for some reason I couldn't get any of my USB devices going, so I had to go back to version 10. I hope this isn’t confusing, and that maybe others can chime in with clarifications or other thoughts. Good luck and I hope you can get it going.
