sounds like an awfully drastic conclusion. may I suggest rebooting your mac. VoiceOver regularly stops talking on my iMac after it has come out of sleep mode. the solution has been to press command+ F5 four times quickly. This always works and VO comes up talking right away. Not sure why this happens, or why it works, but it always does. I think that command F5 four times quickly is some sort of undocumented VO reset command. Try it yourself before resorting to a reboot.

Hi List, I'm not sure what may have happened, but at the moment VO isn't speaking. Soun effects still play though. Will I need to send my unit in for repair?
