In fact, all one needs to do on the mac is slowly turn VO off and on a few times. Press command f5, wait a few seconds, press command f5, wait a few seconds, Etc, until VO starts talking again. When I first switched, I did the same thing of completely shutting down. Now, I am more patient, and it pays off.
