Tom, I like you are stumped. When it is talking the sound comes through both speakers. When it is not talking the music still plays through both speakers. It did it again and I just tapped the cable and it started talking. As the late Joe Labrini, an old Burroughs field engineer, use to say he did not get paid for hitting it but he got paid for knowing where to hit it. I am ready to purchase a pci sound card but first plan to check the sales for a new machine. This one was purchased near the end of 2000. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Fowle" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2008 1:24 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] sound card problem
Lenny, Notice carefully if JAWS talks only out of one chanel or the other. I'd bet it talks only through either right or left sides and that the music is either a real stereo file or comes through both chanels. if this is the case, then the problem is that one connection on either the plug or the jack is intermittent and since the music comes from both chanels, you hear it. If jaws talks through both chanels, I'm stumpped, However get a can of spray contact cleaner and squirt a very small amount on the speaker plug, then shove it in the jack and wiggle it about a bit. I'll bet that solves it. Probably corosion in the join between jack and plug.
