Hi Joanne,
I think I've found a solution to help. I've had this same issue at one time
where every time skype would ring, my audio would lower. To fix this, if you
can get to your sis tray, arrow to the right, until you get to something
that says speakers/headphones or speakers. This is where your ducking
options are. Press the applications key, and arrow down to sounds and press
enter. Then tab till you get to a tab control box and arrow to the right
till you hear communications. Next, tab until you get to a group of radio
buttons, and arrow down to the do nothing option. Then tab to ok, and you
should be all set. Hope this helps.
Mike

Subject: every media player on computer lowers jaws volume
Now I remember many of us struggling many years ago with the problem I'm
having, usually happening with the old real player but also with some winamp
output plug-ins. So I'm surprised that it's happening and I know my
settings are right. Jaws is set to allow other audio and my players are no
different than they've always been. But whether it's Jaws 16 or 18--the 2 I
have on my windows 7 system--if I play an audio file and use Jaws, the Jaws
volume goes down super low. I don't have loud volume on my media players
mostly because I want to work with other programs while listening to music.
But as soon as an audio file starts I can barely hear Jaws. The file stops;
Jaws comes right back up to the right volume. This is a dell system with
real tech high definition, and between Jaws going out and the shaky type
sound of the files I don't know if it's sound card or external speakers or
maybe Jaws needs repair? And it's no respecter of media players--VLC,
Winamp and Windows Media Player all cause Jaws to lower volume.
Would appreciate any thoughts.
Joanne
