Using the Accessibility Wizard | Set Options for People Who Are Deaf or Have Difficulty Hearing Sounds from the Computer

 

If you are deaf or have difficulty hearing sounds from the computer, you can quickly set sound options using the Accessibility Wizard. Sound options include turning on SoundSentry so that you can get visual warnings for system sounds, and ShowSounds so that captions are displayed for speech and sounds in programs that provide them.
