Many thanks, Mike! I think your instructions will do the trick for me!
I'm using Jaws 10 and XP, so I shouldn't have any problem.

Hi
If you're using JAWS version 10 or later, it is very easy to have JAWS use
the sound card you want. From the JAWS window, or the popup menu if
you're
running JAWS from the system tray, choose the Utilities menu. Arrow down
to
the Sound cards sub-menu. This sub-menu has entries for default and each
sound card you have on your system. Just open it, arrow down to the
specific sound card you want and press enter. Task done.
If you are running JAWS 9 or earlier under Windows XP and using Eloquence
for speech, there's an article in the JAWS support knowledge base which
describes how to edit the JFW.ini file to accomplish this. The article
can
be found at
http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_support/BulletinView.asp?QC=432
However, if you're running JAWS 9 or earlier and are on Windows Vista or
7,
or you're using a synthesizer other than Eloquence, I don't believe it's
possible to use any other sound card than the one you have set as the
Windows default.
Mike

Hi, David!
I just ordered a Sabrent usb sound card today fro Tiger direct.
I'll need some help making Jaws use that sound card. Is it difficult?

If jaws is on it's own sound card during a Skype call for example then
especially if you are hooked up with let's say a chatter box kind of a
person then you can turn them down and still hear jaws so you can do what
you need to do. BTW tiger direct is where I got them and either a CMedia
or
a Sabrent sound card.

David,
Could you explain briefly why the additional soundcard works
best with Tandem?

Absolutely, in fact I just counted and much to my surprise
there are
actually 4 of them in my collection. On this system jaws has
it's own sound
card which is great since I never know when the next tandem
session is going
to happen. I just got off of one a couple of minutes ago.
They start at
around $12.99 and simply plug in and you're up and running
with sound.

David, can one purchase a USB sound card and if so, how
efficient are they?

Yes it is true, you can do that in 7 and Vista.

Lenny,
It was my understanding you could do this with just one
sound card in Window's 7 or did I misunderstand that when
reviewing specs of that operating system?
thanks

That is why I had dual sound cards installed in this win 7
machine. I have
one dedicated to jaws and everything else to the other. That
way I can
adjust the volume for web page or music if I so desire.For
me it made life
so simpler.

Hi Sherri,
You can't change the volume of Jaws independently,
however, you can change the volume of Winamp.
In Winamp, use the up and down arrow keys to control the
volume.
HTH,
Rick Justice

Sorry, no there isn't, XP is one of those opperating
systems that don't
allow indevidual volume changes such as what your talking
about, although
Vista and 7 has that ability via the system tray.

I really feel I should know this and I even looked in Jaws
help, but can't
find out how to accomplish this. I am running JFW10 with
Windows XP and
Eloquence. Is it possible for me to change the volume of
Jaws and leave the
other items I am running, say Winamp, the same volume. If I
have Winamp set
to 100%, Jaws is very loud. Is there a way to lower the
volume of Jaws
without affecting the Winamp volume? Thanks.
