Larry,
In your case there is a solution. Set another synthesizer to use your
onboard card and check the check box: Use this synthesizer as the backup
synthesizer. If you have speech going out your monitor and mute it,
reload Window-Eyes and hold down the left Shift key while doing so. You
have to be quick on the draw with this, or you can reboot and hold down
that key. It will tell Window-Eyes to use your backup synth. It will
also turn apps off.
So you have to remember to turn them back on, or, get things
straightened out and then reload Window-Eyes with your usual default
settings.
Otherwise, most laptops or desktop keyboards have volume or mute
controls on them today. Some are on the F-keys and you have to know how
to toggle them between F-keys and shortcut keys. For example, on my
Microsoft Natural keyboard I have what you would think were 13 F-keys.
that thirteenth one is the toggle key. But I know most aren't this simple.
Hth,
Tom

Dennis, I'm actually hoping that someone can provide an affirmative
answer to your question due to an issue I ran into the other day.
My sound card is an on board Realtek on a Dell machine, but my hi def
monitor has an output device that WE will use, but it seems that if I go
to mute the thing that I lose speak altogether, and have to grope and
hope in relocating my settings for my default card if I have need to
return to my default card.
I just thought it would be convenient to go this rout whenever I might
wish to record using stereo mix so that I wouldn't be recording WE
output at the same time.
I guess this wouldn't be a problem as long as I can remember not to ever
mute the thing, but if either I accidentally do mute the card, or if
some other unknown issue should crop up, I would like to have a quick
and sure solution toward regaining speech.
So, if anybody has a possible solution to this one, at least two of us
would definitely appreciate it.
Thanks,
Larry

Hi, I am wondering if there is a program that will let you save your
current
configurations and restore them with a hot key if your volume or default
sound card gets changed?
