    I’m going to be trying that today. I hope my Unspoken version still runs on this.

      Do let us know. I’m not familiar with Unspoken. If it’s an NVDA add-on, it might need an update. If it’s an external program, it should keep working fine.

        It’s an NVDA add-on. It substitutes role announcements with specific 3d located sounds. And fortunately it does work. I should change the manifest to indicate it.
