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

No it is not. I only did it as narrator could access parts nvda could not in regard to a program, but I think I can only count on one hand the times I've done this over the now 12 years I've been using NVDA.

You know, I did not know until these post that you could use both at the same time. Is this done a lot?

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.
