Ducking

My ne NVDA (19.1.1) has started this ducking thing.  Very annoying.  Can't figure out how to turn it off

Straight out of the User Guide, accessible via NVDA Menu, Help, User Guide:
Audio Ducking Mode

Key: NVDA+shift+d

On Windows 8 and above, this option allows you to choose if NVDA should lower the volume of other applications while NVDA is speaking, or all the time while NVDA is running.

  • No Ducking: NVDA will never lower the volume of other audio.
  • Duck when outputting speech and sounds: NVDA will only lower the volume of other audio when NVDA is speaking or playing sounds. This may not work for all synthesizers.
  • Always duck: NVDA will keep the volume of other audio lower the whole time NVDA is running.

 

This option is only available if NVDA has been installed. It is not possible to support audio ducking for portable and temporary copies of NVDA

Thank you Antony.  I looked in the user guide in the help menu but (I guess) didn't look good enough.  Thanks.

And also with you, Brian.  Looking through the menus, if I'd looked at changing synthesizers, I would have found it.  But I didn't want to change synths.


Got it now, and thanks.
