Hi, I have a USB sound card, through which I run the jaws and I still get
the popping sound every so often. The whole thing is then sent to my sterio
reciever I do tend to run JAWS at about 80 for an average. Sometimes
faster if I am skimming.
I'll write back, with the spacific make and moddle of my sound card, as soon
as I can check it out.

I'm sure someone has dealt with this one already but just in case, I
believe that a "popping" sound can be caused when the audio stream being
presented is too complex for the particular sound card to process. Older
sound cards tend to do this because they have some kind of buffer which is
part of their makeup. When you are using jaws at a high rate of speed,
you are filling and emptying that buffer at a rate which is too quick for
the sound card to absorb. It isn't critical but it can be extremely
annoying. The only solution I know of is a different sound card. Several
companies make independent sound cards now which operate through the USB
port. They are quite reasonable and extremely easy to install. All you
have to do is plug in the card using the cable provided. It would be a
quick and relatively painless way to determine if my analysis is correct.
The Creative Labs people make several excellent cards.

Yep unfortunately that's the way it is. I don't know why it happens but
it
does. It also drives me nuts.

Hi all,
Until recently I had my voice rate of eloquence set at 50 percent.
However,
I plan to slowly speed it up so I can eventually understand it at 100
percent. However, one little thing, I had it at 80, but decided for now
that
was too fast and slowed it down to 75. but at both speeds I hear more
popping sounds as eloquence reads things. is this just how things are
something I'll have to get used too?
