Marvin,Firstly, might I ask how you were able to obtain Server 2012. I have been trying to do so inexpensively since the demise of TechNet but have found no affordable route to do so.Next, I am assuming that Server 2012 is like all server OS flavours: what you need to do is go into the services and turn on the audio service or something similar.Let us know if that works.Regards,Rajiv ----- Original Message ----- From: Marvin Hunkin <startrekcafe@gmail.com> To: Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org Sent: Sun, 26 Jul 2015 07:07:34 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] windows server 2012 r2 Hi.tried using o Racle virtual box, and created a new vm, then click start and then found my iso. But it crashed the speech, or maybe not a talking install. So, will have to use vm ware work station 8.0, which I have a key. So how do I enable the audio in windows server 2012 r2 essentials. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
