setting up new laptop
|
Don H
Not that I wanted to purchase a new computer right now but my current computer has went to that big bit bucket in the sky. I will soon be getting a new HP Envy 13 inch laptop with a Intel 11 gen I5, 8 Gig of Ram, 256 gig ssd and running Windows 11. Have seen some mention that this laptop might have the issue of the sound card going to asleep. Is there a fix for this issue if it does exist? I will be installing NVDA 2021-2 on this laptop.
Thanks

You can use a utility called silenzio (spelling) that sends some sort of
inaudible signal to the sound card to keep it from sleeping. I’d have to
find the link to get it again. Probably others already have the
link. If you don’t get it soon, I’ll find it.

Too bad this is not an https link because my chromium based
browsers won't allow downloads from it. Does anyone else have this
issue

The problem isn’t caused by there being no s at the end of http.
Browsers hgenerally seem to automatically add the s if it is needed these
days. The problem appears to be the root certificate that expired
recently. You are evidently getting a message that the site can’t be
verified. Ordinarily, you have to tell the browser to go to the site and
the browser may tell you it is unsafe but will go there. On some sites, it
won’t. In this case, you don’t have to do anything. This is a direct
download link and in the browser you are using, try downloading the file as
usual. You may need to do nothing but the usual download procedure, even
if you see the unverified warning. If it doesn’t work, I’ll describe how
to work with the unverified warning. If you just do nothing after
following a direct download link, do that. If you open the download folder
and use save as on that page, do that.

Someone contacted me privately this afternoon about Edge (SmartScreen, really) blocking the download. Just changing to Chrome allowed the download. The standard advice to "try another browser" should always be the first thing to try on a blocked download provided it's not your own antivirus/security suite is not the one blocking it. SmartScreen is separate from Windows Defender or third party antivirus/security. Sometimes you have to try tow other browsers. But if at least two Chromium-based browsers and Firefox won't download something, it probably shouldn't be downloaded. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. ~ John F.

Disregard my first message. it is probably wrong. I evidently
made an error when I was experimenting.
What I said is correct that browsers generally seem to add an s where
needed. But you probably have to work with the verification message before
you can download.
Do the following.
When the message comes up, go to the bottom of the screen, control
end. You will be on an advanced button.
Activate it with the space bar.
Then once again go to the bottom of the screen. You will be on a
proceed to the name of the site button. You will hear that it is
unsafe. it is safe in this case.
Activate it with the space bar.
You should now be taken to the direct download, the link you followed is a
direct download link. Download the file as you usually do.
As I said in my other message, you are evidently seeing the message because
of a root verification certificate that expired recently.
GeneI just tried this with two browsers. I’m not sure about one since
I tried working with the verification message and then trying again with the
browser. But in the browser where I did notbhing, no download
occurred.

Brian's message is probably the cause of the problem. I thought it was the expired certificate but that isn't likely. I thought that was what you were describing when you said you couldn't download.
