Hello all,

Are we talking about Skype or Skype For Business?

Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] JAWS and Skype



I think I have the same problem Dan does. Jaws is either too faint or I am too faint. This has been my experience since midway through Windows 7. I know there's a setting that fixes it because I always stumble upon it eventually, but I have to struggle with this every time I get a new computer. I don't have an answer. I'm posting because I know the problem is real and so is the solution, but no one ever seems to know what I'm talking about when I ask around.

> I'm using JAWS on my computer when I make Skype calls.  I need to share my screen with other team members in another office.  One of them is also blind and needs to hear what JAWS is saying.  I find the volume for JAWS is very faint.  I have looked through all of the audio settings on my computer including settings in the JAWS Settings Center.  I called Freedom Scientific and the technician mentioned audio ducking.  I don't know what that has to do with JAWS volume as the whole point of audio ducking is to lower the volume of other sounds when JAWS is speaking.  Obviously the technician wasn't listening when I explained my problem.  Does anyone have any ideas?
