I changed the subject line. Yeah my Real teck HD sound card's software is not that accessible with JFW. I have to use the JAWS cursor a lot in the sound manager. One positive thing though is that they releasedlast week an updated driver for XP and Vista users and to me, it sounds a bitt better with music and other sounds. Just my 2 cents worth.

let me add a little caveat comment, John. Although the sound cards including the USB versions are quite accessible, the software included with the more recent versions of this product most assuredly is not Jaws friendly. I have a relatively new USB card which works beautifully but it comes with some new software called the "Tool Box" which contains all kinds of really interesting mixing and editing software. Unfortunately, many of the controls on these screens will not read at all. That is most regrettable and I have already made my views known to the manufacturer, Creative Labs. Man, that is so frustrating! John Justice ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon C.
