Hi Chuck,hope your wife gets better.My suggestion is to check your soundcard
settings like,ambiance,bass,treble,i'm assuming you are using an integrated
one.
 
My wife has a tablet pc and to my knowledge there is no way to access the
sound card, any sugguestions? PS. she will not get better they removed her
tounge and voice box!
Thank You,
Chuck

Any settings for your sound card will be in the Sound applet in Control
Panel. Or you may have a "mixer" type application that allows you to
adjust the sound settings. You'll need to do some exploring since we
can't see your computer from here. Or contact tech support for the
device you're using to see if they have suggestions.

Oddly enough these settings don't seem to be well implemented with some
sound devices and when they are not there's little choice.

CompUSA do some very acceptable speakers for around $20 - $30 which have
adjustment, if there's no utility with the sound equipment you have,
that may be a cheaper and better alternative.
 
Right click on the Speaker icon in the Notification Area of the Taskbar and
select Playback devices. Click your USB Speaker icon and press the Properties
button. Is there a Tone tab? Do your USB speaker's driver install a sound
manager applet in Control Panel?

Another alternative is to use an external sound card or this gadget from DFX,

Vista added some new audio processing features. An explanation of the
new features is here:
Vista audio enhancements revealed
<http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060907-7682.html>

Unfortunately the basic audio enhancements only include loudness
equalization, room correction, speaker fill, and bass management. None
of those will help with your needs.

The basic USB Audio driver from Microsoft only includes those four
basic enhancements.

I have a Realtek onboard sound chip and the Realtek driver includes
additional audio enhancements including pitch shift and an equalizer.
The combination of the pitch shift and the equalizer might give you
what you want.

I don't know if it is possible to get third party audio enhancement
addons that would let you add an equalizer and/or pitch shift to the
USB Audio. Anyone here know if third party Vista Audio Enhancement
addons are available?

You access the audio enhancements in the control panel
Control Panel >> Hardware and Sound >> Manage audio devices
Select the audio device and then the Properties button for that device

Instead of looking for a software solution you might want to go visit a
Guitar Center or similar "pro audio" music store. They have all sorts
of sound processing devices that may give you better results. For
example, multimedia monitors and small studio monitors give you better
and more clear sound that you get from computer speakers. They'll also
have equalizers and pitch shifters and other toys. They may also know
of software options. Bring the tablet PC to the store so you can plug
in different speakers and sound processors and see if it makes a
difference.
 
I appericate all your replys so far!!
So far nothings is working. I contacted Tech support of the USB Jlab B-flex
speaker we are using and they sugguested using WinAmp, I checked there site
and it seems to be for music only. there are no music files on her computer.
What we need is a simple equalizer for control of the Bass & Trembe of a USB
speaker on a Vista OS.
If I changed setting in Window media player would those setting take affect
over her Text to Speech program? I really need some help with this, Thank you.
