RE: W-e Not reliably selecting my speech sound device
Hi Reg, I agree with what has been said already, and I would hazard a guess that you might get more reliable performance by making the USB sound device the default audio Playback device. This works for me on my Windows 7 PC.

My problem is that I don't understand why it selects the right device sometimes on startup, but not at others, when it appears to make an arbitrary selection. I'm guessing there's sometimes a discrepancy between when USB becomes available, and when W-E selects the ports available, but maybe not. -- Reg On Thu, 3 Dec 2015 22:41:58 -0800 "net bat" wrote: > in your w e synthisizer settings make sure that it is not set to use a backup synthisizer. > sometimes you have to unplug and re insert the usb cable so windows can properly detect the usb port. > > > -Original Message- From: Reg Webb via Talk > Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2015 8:23 PM > To: talk@lists.window-eyes.com > Subject: W-e Not reliably selecting my speech sound device > > Hi all > > While on the subject of sound device selection, I have Vocalise Samantha > as my default software speech, with a USB sound device as its chosen > sound card.

Re: W-e Not reliably selecting my speech sound device
I think you are exactly right. I've noticed similar windows behaviour on a USB audio device. Cheers for now, JP On Fri, 4 Dec 2015 06:57:46 + Reg Webb via Talk wrote: Hi and thanks.

Re: W-e Not reliably selecting my speech sound device
in your w e synthisizer settings make sure that it is not set to use a backup synthisizer. sometimes you have to unplug and re insert the usb cable so windows can properly detect the usb port. -Original Message- From: Reg Webb via Talk Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2015 8:23 PM To: talk@lists.window-eyes.com Subject: W-e Not reliably selecting my speech sound device Hi all While on the subject of sound device selection, I have Vocalise Samantha as my default software speech, with a USB sound device as its chosen sound card.
