From Felix Grützmacher and Lars Bjørndal:
If NVDA finds a Braille display but no sound card, it would be great if it didn’t exit. This way, users could install their sound drivers while using NVDA with a Braille display.
At this stage, NVDA isn't going to work "out of the box" like this because it does not currently auto-detect braille displays. However, it should be possible to do this with a preconfigured NVDA; e.g. loaded on a USB stick or on flash storage in the display itself.
I suspect that tones is probably the problem here. We should already fall back to silence if eSpeak fails, so this should be fine.
