Re: Does anyone ever have to use NVDA and narrator together and find that when you turn off narrator, the system sound volume goes down

I actually keep forgetting about that as I don’t have a short cut key, I disabled that long long ago. Because of how fast I eype it really for me does not take much time to do the method I described as well. Lol! Happy Friday.

If you have a shortcut key such as control alt n, using that will cause it to restart.

Actually those are off but nvda still will duck  when using both screen readers at the  same time.  The fastest work around  is to press windows R. then type nvda, then enter. NvDA will restart and the problem will go away.

Also, you can go trolugh the audio ducking options of NVDA as a workaround.

Yep I’ve noticed this since maybe February or so when I’ve had to test stuff with both and have had to use both at the same time.  The work around I to restart nvda after shutting down narrator.

Occasionally, I have to use NVDA and narrator concurrently because on some websites, narrator seems to work better particularly on old Internet Explorer websites with lots of .jsp JavaScript running.

Whenever however I turn off narrator, the system sound volume goes down although NVDA speech remains at the same volume, to fix it I can restart NVDA but it gets a bit laborious after a while.

Does anyone know what might be causing this or how I could stop it?
I have turned audio ducking off on both NVDA and narrator as well.
