Michelle, might also have to do with some or other virtual audio hardware
that's automatically mapping devices to each other in/out.
Another thing you could try, just in case is see if things like narrator,
and/or NVDa also go quiet, and, starting from the old days, the simplest way to
double check if a PC has audio output working at all - on a lowish level is to
hit the left shift key 5 times in quick succession - do it first while jaws is
working to get an idea of the beep sound you should get along with a dialogue
from sticky keys popping up - you can just hit escape key to cancel that, but,
it's always been one of the first ways I would use to check if audio was
working at all, starting from windows XP.
Stay well

If you continue to have problems and a good solution isn't presented by other
list members, I'll experiment with JAWS and Audacity on my Windows 7 machine.
I have two sound cards so I can experiment.
I haven't used audacity with NVDA to any extent. My impression is that it
works reasonably well in general but that when you do something such as export
or import a file or apply an effect, NVDA pretty much stops working in Audacity
until the operation is finished. I'd have to experiment to see if my
recollection is correct since I've very seldom used that combination
but when you are recording with NVDA and Audacity, I don't think you will
have problems. If you know how to set NVDA to use your internal sound card,
you may want to try that as well as checking the JAWS settings.

for anyone who may be wondering, I didn't deal with this topic in my
tutorial.
Did you check to be sure that the setting in JAWS is correct? Even if you
set it correctly, something may have happened and the setting may have been
lost.
If you check and find that the setting is correct, perhaps I or other list
members can present a solution or work around.
It may help those who have suggestions to know what version of Windows you
are using.

Hello All
Well, I think I need to re-listen to the wonderful recording Gene did but I
have a quick question. When I plug in my tape machine into the USB port, JAWS
quits working. I can only think that it is trying to speak through the device
even though I have the internal speakers designated to deal with JAWS. Any
thoughts on how to fix this? I'm putting all my tapes into digital format.
