Hi all Rod sent me this reply, but I'm sending it to the list, since I feel we're often unsure as to which inconsistencies to lay at the door of the screen reader, and which at the dor of Windows. In this case, it seems to be Windows, and thanks for this Rod. I've realocated my default sound device, and reassigned Winamp's output plug in to go to the sound device I previously had as default because it's simply a better quality device and I broadcast with it.
