Steps to reproduce:
- IN NVDA Advanced settings, set WASAPI to disabled.
- Apply, save config, and restart NVDA.
- Start some sound playing. I used Firefox, playing a video.
- Attempt to mute other apps (
NVDA+Alt+Del).
- Attempt to change volume of other apps (
NVDA+Alt+pgDn).
- Continue lowering volume of other apps to 20 or so.
- In NVDA Advanced settings, enable WASAPI.
- Save config and restart NVDA.
Actual behavior:
At step 4, NVDA says:
Sound split cannot be used. Please enable WASAPI in the Advanced category in NVDA Settings to use it.
Applications muted
First,. I was not trying to use Sound Split. Why is it being mentioned?
Second, Applications have not been muted, so the message is false.
At step 5, NVDA says:
Sound split cannot be used. Please enable WASAPI in the Advanced category in NVDA Settings to use it.
Applications volume 95
First, I was not using Sound Split, again.
Second, the application volume was not changed, so the message is false.
At step 8:
Upon NVDA restart, the volume of the other application--which was previously not changed--suddenly drops precipitously to match the volume that was set while WASAPI was disabled.
Expected behavior:
At step 4, NVDA should speak only something like:
Application mute is only supported when WASAPI is enabled in NVDA advanced settings.
At step 5, NVDA should speak only something like:
Application volume changes are only supported when WASAPI is enabled in NVDA advanced settings.
At step 8, the volume should not change on NVDA startup, because step 4 should not have changed any volume in configuration.
