Hyper-V does have audio, but only after the machine is installed; works on both Windows and Linux, but in Linux's case, needs something like Pulse Audio, and not sure whether or not that would work with Speakup or others for terminal speech access from the local host. I'm going to test with SUSE through Hyper-V, though, so I can let you guys know. -----Original Message----- From: Majid Hussain Sent: Friday, January 18, 2019 9:06 AM To: Blind sysadmins list Cc: Jason White Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: vm software question hi all, I got in touch with someone who is in charge of hyper-v at Microsoft to ask them to enable audio when running inside a vm. pending if i get more news i'll let you know, for reference, here s my contacts info via twitter. @CraigWilhite https://twitter.com/craigwilhite?lang=en if you wanted to communicate. hope this helps, Majid Hussain On 18/01/2019, Jason White via Blind-sysadmins wrote:

I have other options not involving virtualization, but just wanted to float the idea to understand the possibilities.

Hi,

I am a bit rusty on this since I only used HyperV up to 2012 R2. However here goes:

- HyperV does not provide native sound, but you can configure RDP options to push sound through to the client; - The native HyperV installation ISO installs HyperV on a Windows Core installation and so Narrator is not available. I strongly recommend not going down this route as it is very difficult to manage unless you are on a domain network. Even then I don't really know what the purpose of this installation is because you would mostly get Windows Enterprise and benefit from the HyperV licensing.

Andrew.

hi all, i've a few questions. is hyperv accessible with sound? i.e the sound from with in the vm? if yes that's great, if not could it be made so with out sited assistance? does hyper-v on bare mettle have speech? how would you go about setting it up? wanted to have a play around? does the hyper-v iso have the ability of running narrator like the windows 10 iso's doo? this is for me to have a play around and to learn while playing. I hope my questions don't seemb to be too newbieish, or foolish.

thanks, Majid Hussain

Absolutely, comments like that have a distinct way of altering trends. With any hope the trend is for listeners to think more about accessibility and put more effort in rather than to actually think it is a brain dead mentality. But when chasing Profits any extra development time comes off the bottom line. -----Original Message----- From: Majid Hussain Sent: January-18-19 9:18 AM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: vm software question you are talking about one Paul Thurrott write?
