Windows 10: How to split audio from screen reader voices to earpiece from speakers but keep media audio...

Hello, bit of information:I am blind and i use screen readers Narrator and NVDA on my dell optiplex 5000 that runs Windows 11 pro i'm quite experienced with screen readers, so i have no screen hooked up to my Optiplex but i do have a cable just in case i could plug it into the tv and have my sighted wife help me. Here is what i have so far, the optiplex has a built in speaker which is great for backup just in case there is something wrong with the speakers, then i have monitor speakers presonus that i hard wire into the audio jack up front on the optiplex. When i plug in the external speakers

Lumia 925, earpiece audio trouble (voice calls)

Background: I am a T-Mobile USA subscriber. Previously owned a Lumia 710, then switched to 810 when it became available. Great products; I've been very happy with both. Two weeks ago gave the 810 to another family member and got the Lumia 925.



I love the 925. The screen is great, the phone is light, and the camera amazing. Except for one thing. The first day I had the 925, I noticed that the audio from the earpiece did not no sound right. While on calls, the earpiece had a nasty buzz to it, sounding
like a damaged speaker. The audio quality while on speakerphone was perfect, so I could not blame T-Mobile's network. I took the phone back to T-Mobile and they replaced it, no questions asked.



The second 925 sounded great. The earpiece audio was clear, without any buzzing or audio glitches. I was a happy man and everything was great, that is, until yesterday. Now the second 925 developed a similar bad audio quality during calls, but only from
the earpiece. The speakerphone sounds fine, and using a bluetooth headset sounds fine also. It is not easy to describe the "badness" of the audio but there is a significant decrease in quality. The audio level seems to be down; with the volume all the way
up, you can barely hear the other caller. The audio also has a buzzy, muffled quality to it, almost as if it is coming out of a tin can, and it is not easy to understand the caller. I tried calling my old Lumia 810 and the sound on the 810 is just fine. The
trouble seems to be only the earpiece on the 925.



This morning I went back to T-Mobile and they replaced the SIM card. I'm not sure how that would help, but they said it should help if this is a network issue. That was 5 hours ago and the audio quality has not improved at all. I have also performed a full
phone reset, then reloaded my previous settings, but the problem persists. At this point it appears to be a hardware issue, but it is very odd that it happened on the first 925 right away, and on the replacement one as well, but after two weeks. Beside the
bad earpiece audio the phone works great. The apps work as they should, and the camera is lovely, but if I first need the device to function as a phone.



I am debating if I should try a third Lumia 925. I am a bit reluctant, as I'm afraid that it might break again. At least now it is within the 30 day return period, but what if this issue happens later? I would love to stick with Lumia but these issues with
the 925 are worrisome.



Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

Windows 10 audio crackling

Hi,

Kindly answer the following question for clarification:

• Is the annoying only apply to a video?
• Did you made any changes before the issue happen?

You can do the following steps to rolling out hardware issue:

• Use another speaker.
• You can use a head phone or earpiece.
• Use another audio port if you have more than one.
• Use Realtek Audio Manager to test the function of the speaker.

Let us know how it goes.
