Hi John, Below is what I got from Freedom Scientific knowledge base. I had it for several years as a reminder, but I think that nothing has changed. I am currently using PCI sound card for my Jaws 8.0 and my main speakers are used for music and other sounds. I also do recording of my LPs and the Jaws speakers does not interfere with the recordings.
Editing the jfw.ini file: 1. Using My Computer or Windows Explorer, browse your hard drive to the currently running version of JAWS and find the jfw.ini file in that folder. 2. Press ENTER to open. 3. You should find some lines that read: Synth1Name=eloq Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS Synth1Driver=eloq The number doesn't matter, it may be 1, 2, or 3, but it must be the same for all entries for Eloquence. 4. Add the following line after the driver line: Synth1Port=SB Live! Wave Device Of course, you need to make sure that the synth number matches the other lines, so that if the Driver line read: Sytn3Driver=eloq Then the port line would read: Synth3Port=SB Live! Wave Device The text after the = sign in the Port line comes from Control Panel/Sound & Multimedia/Audio tab It must be one of the entries that can be chosen for Preferred Playback device. 5. Save your changes and exit Notepad. Now you must install the updated driver.As long as JAWS is running and speaking through Eloquence, eloq.jls cannot be simply overwritten when unzipping the file. You will need to switch to NoSpeech or MS SAPI to get the eloq.jls to overwrite properly. 1. Download the file from ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/eloq.zip 2. Unzip the zip file into the root of the active JAWS directory where you made the change to the jfw.ini file. 3. Restart JAWS and it should now be speaking from the sound card you wanted. 4. If not, make sure the entries are correct in the jfw.ini file and that your sound card is indeed installed correctly. Most audio and music production software allows you to select a sound device for it as well, so it can use one sound card while JAWS uses another. Note: This is what I put in my JFW.ini Synth1Port=Creative Sound Blaster PCI Hote this helps Lennie At 03:31 PM 4/16/2007, you wrote: >Hi Sarah John R. here >First, I would like to make a grate comment on your website it is >very Jaws friendly and I find it intresting maybe you want to visit >my one on the following link and tell me what you think of it: ><http://www.johnathanrichards.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk>http://www.johnathanrichards.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk > >second.
