looks like I struck gold on this thread. hitting Command F5 4 times sounds weird, that's like turning VO on and off twice. Or, is it a matter of pressing the key combo 4 times quickly causing a different function than just pressing it normallyy.

I have to mess around with the volume keys to get some system sounds going, then turn VO off and back on a few times before it will finally come up talking. It takes about two or three minutes to do all this and get VO talking again. it doesn't happen consistently, but more often than not, VO will go silent after sleep mode, or a prolonged period of computer inactivity. Actually, it seems to be tied into system sounds, since I won't get any of the thunking, beeping, quacking sounds that occur when you do something to invoke a system sound, whether VO is turned on or not. So, maybe it's not a VO problem but a system problem? Any ideas suggestions or advice are welcome - it's getting a little annoying. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
