When you press F6, then shift tab until you hear a message about trackers. When you get to that message, press right arrow twice, and you should get to the manager sharing settings button. From there, press either space or enter, and you will see a block button and an allow button.

Re: help with the volume mixer on windows 10
Gene
In addition to what I said in my previous message, it appears you
don't have to have the audio playing. It does appear that you have
to have played at least a bit of audio in the application and then
left it opened. Open the application, play a bit of audio, then
stop it if you wish.

Open the volume control and tab through the fields. You should see the application and its control. Gene On 6/11/2022 5:32 PM, Gene wrote:
How are you opening the volume control and is the application running and playing audio when you look for the control? |

Re: help with the volume mixer on windows 10
What happens if you try? If you cannot find the app then go to sounds in control panel, and tab to advanced and find your app there.

Hi all,
For some weird reason I’m having issues with the volume mixer on windows 10.
Am trying to change the soundcard for 1 particular application and I just can’t seem to do it. I do have win 10 app essential’s installed and enabled.
Any ideas please?
Many thanks. |

Re: help with firefox and NVDA

I'm giving desktop commands. I don't know the laptop ones.

To move forward by object, the command is numpad insert numpad 6. To move back by object, the command is numpad insert numpad 4. Try moving a number of times in both directions. If you find the button, use the command numpad insert numpad enter to see if you can activate it in that way. Numpad enter is the long key on the right row of the numpad at the bottom of the numpad. There are two long keys and enter is the bottom one. Plus is the long key above it. Gene On 6/11/2022 4:48 PM, Ibrahim Abedrabbo

No, I do not know the object navigation command in such a situation. I tried tab and shift tab and it did not help. On Jun 11, 2022, at 5:41 PM, Gene <gsasner@...> wrote:

Re: help with firefox and NVDA

If tabbing or shift tabbing once or twice doesn't place you on the
button, do you know how to use object navigation? Be on the address
bar and move by object to the left and right to see if you find the
button.

Re: help with firefox and NVDA

The reason is that you are not in a web page, you are in the address
bar. Therefore, you are not in browse mode and quick navigation
commands won't work. If you type a letter, you will remove the
address from the address bar and the letter b will be there. When
you are on highlighted text and type something, the highlighted text
is removed and replaced by what you have typed.

Re: want to read short lines, not full paragraphs
Penny Golden <pengold2@...>
Yes, Gene, I expect down arrow to run by line; control-down arrow to go by paragraph. but my documents still read in wide paragraph swaths with my down arrow. I figured that the control down arrow was the wrong advice, but I cited it only to show what had been said.

Control down arrow has been for a long time, the move by paragraph command in Windows programs where you move through text. Your advice was completely the opposite of what is the case. Just down arrow is move by line. |

Re: why can't I turn on caret browsing?

Me thinks your NVDA key isn't working properly. This sometimes happens

to me, but more likely in System Access than NVDA. Usually a restart of the screen reader fixes this. As for how to get the browser to ask about carrot browsing again, I don't know as usually when that dialog pops up I just hit escape and try links list again.
