Installation on Windows Server Operating Systems
On many Windows server PC's, while the Windows Audio components are present by default they are not always
enabled. If this is the case the playback of voice prompts may be 'choppy' and the TTS (if installed) will not work.
However, enabling Windows Audio does not require the server PC to have a sound card installed.
