Problem with new Audio Ducking mode #5536

Closed MichelSuch closed 8 years ago

MichelSuch commented 8 years ago

The problem is with option "Duck when outputing speech and sounds", which seems to be the default. When playing music for example, the sound is correctly ducked when NVDA speaks, but forgets to get back to its original level when NVDA stops, wich probably is the purpose of this option.

What synthesiser are you using? If this works for you with eSpeak, this is due to your other synthesiser driver using NVDA's audio output API incorrectly.

Well, in fact, this option does not work at all when using sapi5. I run Windows 10 64 bits and french Microsoft voice Hortense. It works fine with Espeak.

Hi,

I tried to answer on GitHub but it did not seem to work, need to get more clever with it. In fact, this option does not work at all with a sapi5 synthesizer, I use Microsoft Hortense french voice. It works fine with eSpeak, works partially with another unsupported synth I can't name here. I run Windows 10 1511 64 bits.

Your first reply did work; both did.

This can't be supported with SAPI 5 for now; see this comment for more details.

If it only partially works (e.g. ducks but doesn't unduck) for a particular driver that we don't control, this is due to a problem with the driver and we can't do anything about that.

Note that this is now disabled by default.
