Hi all, For some reason Microsofft Edge os no longer on my desktop, and I've done nothing to either my desktop or Edge. Can anyone tell me why/how it would suddenly no longer be on my desktop? More importantly, can someone please tell me how to get it back on my desktop? Thank you so much!! Madison

Re: having sound issues, communication from creative
Ah, yes, I did not know about usb sound cards. I tollarated the sound as I did not want to have to install another sound card. I am thinking that, some of my difficulties was do to my internal sound card. Never thought about before. So i am looking at this sound card, it is on sale for 99 and the other price was 149. Creative Sound BlasterX G5 7.1 Headphone Surround HD Audio External Sound Card with Headphone Amplifier for Windows PC / Mac / PS4 / and Other Consoles by Creative https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018JUPY3A/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A286IZ33TR5AUQ&psc=1 I think I might try it and because i have prime, if it does not work, I can send it back easily! Creative even sent me the direct link to download the drivers. So far it is accessible. I will let everyone know how it goes. I am not the most technical person in the world, but I like to try knew things! cheers Heather

If you are satisfied with the sound from your internal sound card, I would suggest getting something like perhaps a forty to seventy U.S. dollar UUSB external sound card and using that. I'm giving that as a price range not because sound as good as what you were hearing can't be gotten for less. Others who have evaluated sound cards may be able to comment on that. For all I know, a twenty or thirty dollar sound card might serve as well.But I think a good sound card in the price range I gave would be very likely to satisfy you..
If you don't intend to record using the sound card or use other features, you can just connect it and use it. If you want to record and use other features, you would have to install the software, or at least the driver.

The sound went out from the sound card off the mother board. So I am looking to external USB connected sound cards. I did not like the sound that my little5 dollar USB speaker is giving me and prefer to be able to use my 3.5 bows speakers again. I wanted to have a sound card that jaws could use and I could use it for all other audio from my MP3 library. I also watch youtube videos too. I wanted a good quality sound card and I could take it if I have to upgrade to another pc. If things are starting to go bad off the mother board. For now it is just the sound and as far as I know that is the only issue for now! I do like Dolby AC-3 for my media. Like the surround sound too. IT is just audio first it was the screen reader but, than it started affecting other sounds too. So that is why I pulled out my 5 dollar USB speaker so I would still have sound. I am not interested in gaming and i find that is all they talk about when I started doing research. I wish we had some blind youtubers who can show how their sound card sounds with assistive technology. And regular audio.

Dear Heather,
I have talked to the technical product team and we got the following reply :
"Recalling that we had some cases whereby the text to speech application gives garbled sound on the Sound Blaster Z after some time. We are sadly not able to confirm if our audio devices support text to speech applications.
As audio processing may affect pure voice audio, it is recommended to get a USB DAC that does not provide any audio processing.
Most of our USB DAC have some audio processing on the driver. Therefore they are not recommended for your desired usage.
You may want to check out USB DAC from other manufacturers like FiiO, AudioQuest, Audioengine that do not provide audio effects.
We are truly sorry , that we dont have anything suitable in our product range , but I have posted your suggestion in our feedback , and you never know , maybe it will be considered for future develeopments.-
If you are having any other inquiries now or later on, please contact us here again.
Have a great day.
Regards, Marcel"
So there you go, they even give suggestions to other sound cards. I want to be able to control how my sound card puts out audio. If I am spending money on a product, I believe I have the right to expect to be able to use all features of that product. cheers Heather

Dell had her disable the Real Tech audio drivers so the computer would use the computer speakers. This does fix the issue but like I said, every major update re-installs the Real Tech drivers again and this process starts all over again. Hope this helps.

Displaying The System Tray Icon For Windows Security
Hi Group,
I was finally able to uninstall Avast Anti Virus from my older and recently upgraded Windows 10 machine. I did activate Windows Security. On my two other Windows 10 systems, I see the Windows Security Icon in the system tray. On my older and upgraded version (from Windows 7) Windows 10 machine--the one that I uninstalled Avast from, I do not see the Windows Security icon on the system tray.
How do I display this icon on the system tray for ease of access?
Thanks for any help.

Re: having sound issues, communication from creative
Perhaps you can get recommendations here but from what you say, I really doubt you need to spend more than about thirty or forty dollars, perhaps less. You might want to purchase a sound card from someplace with a good return policy and see if you like it. Since you are satisfied with the internal sound card you were using, I would expect a thirthy dollar sound card, perhaps less, to satisfy you.
If you do a Google search for best inexpensive sound card, you will see relevant results. The information you find may help you decide.

Dear Heather,
I have talked to the technical product team and we got the following reply :
"Recalling that we had some cases whereby the text to speech application gives garbled sound on the Sound Blaster Z after some time. We are sadly not able to confirm if our audio devices support text to speech applications.
As audio processing may affect pure voice audio, it is recommended to get a USB DAC that does not provide any audio processing.
Most of our USB DAC have some audio processing on the driver. Therefore they are not recommended for your desired usage.
You may want to check out USB DAC from other manufacturers like FiiO, AudioQuest, Audioengine that do not provide audio effects.
We are truly sorry , that we dont have anything suitable in our product range , but I have posted your suggestion in our feedback , and you never know , maybe it will be considered for future develeopments.-
If you are having any other inquiries now or later on, please contact us here again.
Have a great day.
Regards, Marcel"
So there you go, they even give suggestions to other sound cards. I want to be able to control how my sound card puts out audio. If I am spending money on a product, I believe I have the right to expect to be able to use all features of that product. cheers Heather

I would avoid the creative ones. There are reports online that the driver software has bugs under 10, and that the direct mode, whith enhancements disabled, isn't as neutral as it should be. Moreover, the enhancements would mess with NVDA or JAWS, and be annoying.

Hi,
How much does a very good USB soundcard cost? I bought a pair of high res audiophile grade headphones, and the reviews say you definately need an external DAC/soundcard to drive them to get all the quality.

This has happened to my partner after every major Windows update. She has a Dell Lattitude and is using JAWS. Dell had her disable the Real Tech audio drivers so the computer would use the computer speakers. This does fix the issue but like I said, every major update re-installs the Real Tech drivers again and this process starts all over again. Hope this helps.

Re: having sound issues, communication from creative
Well for now I have no sound from my internal sound card. I wish I could find a list of sound cards to try besides creative and I tried to e-mail the other they told me about. ON got back to me and told me it was not a traditional sound card that I am thinking about. Heather

I wanted to have a sound card that jaws could use and I could use it for all other audio from my MP3 library. I also watch youtube videos too. I wanted a good quality sound card and I could take it if I have to upgrade to another pc. If things are starting to go bad off the mother board. For now it is just the sound and as far as I know that is the only issue for now! I do like Dolby AC-3 for my media. Like the surround sound too. IT is just audio first it was the screen reader but, than it started affecting other sounds too. So that is why I pulled out my 5 dollar USB speaker so I would still have sound. I am not interested in gaming and i find that is all they talk about when I started doing research. I wish we had some blind youtubers who can show how their sound card sounds with assistive technology. And regular audio. Heather

Dear Heather,
I have talked to the technical product team and we got the following reply :
"Recalling that we had some cases whereby the text to speech application gives garbled sound on the Sound Blaster Z after some time. We are sadly not able to confirm if our audio devices support text to speech applications.
As audio processing may affect pure voice audio, it is recommended to get a USB DAC that does not provide any audio processing.
Most of our USB DAC have some audio processing on the driver. Therefore they are not recommended for your desired usage.
You may want to check out USB DAC from other manufacturers like FiiO, AudioQuest, Audioengine that do not provide audio effects.
We are truly sorry , that we dont have anything suitable in our product range , but I have posted your suggestion in our feedback , and you never know , maybe it will be considered for future develeopments.-
If you are having any other inquiries now or later on, please contact us here again.
Have a great day.
Regards, Marcel"
So there you go, they even give suggestions to other sound cards. I want to be able to control how my sound card puts out audio. If I am spending money on a product, I believe I have the right to expect to be able to use all features of that product. cheers Heather

Please do. I just purchased a creative sound blaster Audigy. I didn't bother installing the software because it works fine without it as I am just running my speakers through the audio line out, and my Yamaha mixer through the line in, but if the control panel is accessible I might take a look at it.

I would avoid the creative ones. There are reports online that the driver software has bugs under 10, and that the direct mode, whith enhancements disabled, isn't as neutral as it should be. Moreover, the enhancements would mess with NVDA or JAWS, and be annoying.

Hi,
How much does a very good USB soundcard cost? I bought a pair of high res audiophile grade headphones, and the reviews say you definately need an external DAC/soundcard to drive them to get all the quality.

This has happened to my partner after every major Windows update. She has a Dell Lattitude and is using JAWS. Dell had her disable the Real Tech audio drivers so the computer would use the computer speakers. This does fix the issue but like I said, every major update re-installs the Real Tech drivers again and this process starts all over again. Hope this helps.

Re: Edge/Jaws settings questions
Hi all,
Yes, Edge has been updated recently, but brushing somebody off with "His issue is that he's using a version of jaws older than 2020.",, I'm afraid is a cop out! That's about as bad as telling someone to RTFM.
If Edge has only recently become useful in Jaws or anything else, and if he doesn't have the latest and greatest screen reader, preventing him from accessing The New Edge, then other alternatives need to be found. How about trying a different browser? How about trying a different screen reader?
Sorry, but Edge is not the be all and end all of browsers. Neither is any other browser. They are tools, and sometimes they don't work, period! That's why a smart person uses more than one screen reader and more than one browser!
I dislike Edge because I don't happen to know its commands well at all, and even though I have Jaws 2020 and all, I'm not able to make it work successfully for my needs. So, I use Chrome! I even use IE on occasion. There are some few web sites that work best in IE. Yes, I know it's legacy, but if it works, who am I to fix it?
So let's stop being insular around here, eh? Let's open ourselves to the possibility that something other than Jaws may just be more effective in a given situation. It works the other way around too. I always proof books for Bookshare using Jaws. It works the best for this particular task. I would not use it for outlook because it can't decide what the Hell line it's reading in the folder summary. So, I use NVDA or SA. Ya got to be flexible, folks!
