Hi Ed, I really like these light-weight earbuds that don't cram inside your ear, but loop onto it and sit just outside your ear. Airdrives fit is one brand.
the reason I mention it is that you could buy two of them, but off one earpiece of each one (opposite ears), and plug one into the bult-in soundcard, and the other into your external sound card, and then setup your sounds to go to separate cards. And, for $60 or so you've got extremely light-weight sounds from different sources in each ear (assuming you can plug a stand mini plug into each source). hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Ed Marquette [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 03, 2010 3:00 AM To: net bat Cc: GW INFO Subject: Re: w e and usb headphones. This is relevant to me too; however, I'm not interested in listening to music. I would like to listen to Window-Eyes in one ear and my telephone in another, where my telephone is either internal to the computer (like Skype) or external. I used to have a headset that did that when I had an external phone, but the wires were so heavy that I had a headache in the end. I'd prefer wireless Blue Tooth headsets, but that would require WE and the other sound card (likely) to broad through two separate Blue Tooth devices connected to two different cards with WE going through one and the phone the other. There probably is no such thing as a headset that can separate two signals like that. Well, as I'm typing this, it appears that my problem may be more a headset problem than a Window-Eyes problem, but I'd still like to know how to channel different sounds to the computer to two different earpieces, with Window-Eyes definitely separated. however, net bat wrote: > hi, > i thought there is a way to have w e go through the usb headphones > and the windows sounds go through the on board sound card? > but i haven't found any settings in the w e synth dialog to choose the > default sound card to use. wasn't there a setting like this somewhere > in w e? > i found the sound settings in the control panel but i don't get any > sound out of the usb headphones until i make the usb the default > sound. then both w e and the windows sounds go through the headphones. > thanks for info. > > __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus > signature database 5080 (20100502) __________ > > The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. > > http://www.eset.com > > > If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original > sender only.
