NVDA and sound card

hi group
 
does NVDA have features to work with sound cards?
i mean, if i use NVDA with an external sound card and after removing the sound card, NVDA  went mute
how do you fix this, i mean how to set back NVDA  on your default sound card?
 
thanks

Probably if you just unload NVDA and run it again, it will play through the original sound card.  If you haven't changed any settings, it should play through whatever is the default sound card, though for reasons of how sound cards work in Windows, not NVDA reasons, it may not do so automatically and unloading and running NVDA again should correct the problem.

Hi


I guess you could try the folowing when nvda is running even with no sound.


Press the nvda key + ctrl key + the letter S


this will bring up the synth settings in nvda.


When it comes up press the letter E for the e speak synth just in case it is set to no speech.

Tab again and press the letter M so it lands on microsoft sound mapper it is like the default on most systems.

Then tab 2 times to the ok button then press the enter key.


your sound should come backthen go back in when you have sound and change it to the synth package you want and the sound card.


Hope that helps.

Hi,
failing all else, of course you can reset NVDA to factory settings by pressing NVDA+CTRL+R three times quickly. You'll lose all settings, but you very likely get your speech back, even though it might not be the synth you are expecting.
On a Windows 10 machine you can even launch Narrator while NVDA is running, then change settings in NVDA under the guidance of Narrator. Got me out of a tight spot once.
Best,
Felix

I have generally found that there is a new default when you remove a usb card, but it often depends on how the windows drivers work or how the sound device appears in the various bits of software on the computer. Windows is a bit of a mess on its sound card support, it is worse in windows 10 than on windows 7 from my experience. Of course it is very possible to set up a screenreader to use one output device while the rest of windows uses another. However sometimes the slightest disturbance seems to screw it up.

The easiest way is to use the synthesizer command NVDA+ctrl+s

Tab once

Press enter and it should play through whatever is considered the default sound card.
