Hi Mark.
If the computer is that new, it is probably something else, but if you want
to give it a try, follow these steps:
1. Press INSERT+J to open the JAWS Window.
2. Press ALT+U to open the Utilities menu.
3. From the Utilities menu, choose Configuration Manager.
4. When the Configuration Manager opens, press ALT+S to open the Set
Options menu.
5. From the Set Options menu, open Synthesizer Options.
6. Tab down to the "Allow Wave files with Software Synthesizers" checkbox
and press the space bar to check it if it is unchecked. If you have a
multi-channel sound card, it won't make any difference, but if you don't it
may help your problem.
