Thanks, Simon. Another helpful suggestion. Problem is Windows isn't supplying audio via the headphone jack, the 3.5 jack on the airbook. I have this wired to my physical Mackie 1202 mixer on my desk. I love the sound and will probably keep this setup while the Airbook is on my desk in my office.

Thanks for the confirmation, Gena. Glad to know I'm not the lone stranger! As to why Windows would do this, I would suspect some kind of default Windows Defender security setting. But, they should add logic to not mess with audio when a screen reader process is running. That's likely a bug that sh
