Its not the laptop that gives you what your looking for or the
operating system. You need a sound card that will let you have the
input and output on one output channel. The sound blaster cards did
this with the "what you hear" feature. There are other cards that
provide that function also.

I have a question regarding JAWS and recording conversations on Skype using
Audacity.
My friend needs a laptop that will record conversations using the Audacity
program which will also pick up, not only the voice of the other person, but
JAWS as well. He not only needs JAWS picked up during a recording, but
picked up during a conversation with someone else that is not being
recorded.
Right now he is using a Toshiba laptop with Vista that does just this. There
is no problem recording conversations with others and JAWS using Audacity
and picking up everything and no problem for the person he is speaking with
outside of a recording hearing JAWS clearly while on Skype with him.
Because he needs to replace this laptop, he is looking for a laptop that
will do the same thing as he is taking a class that needs these functions.
He has tried several Toshiba laptops, an Asus and an HP. All use Windows 7.
The HP worked just the same as his Vista, however, there were other problems
with this laptop and he needed to return it.
Toshiba is telling him that there is no problem with their product and that
it is a Windows 7 or Skype issue, however, as I explained, it worked fine
with the HP which also used Windows 7. He uses the latest version of Skype
and he used the version of Audacity which works with Windows 7.
Here are my questions.
1. Does anyone use a laptop with Windows 7 that will pick up a recorded
conversation, both voices and JAWS using Audacity? A desktop computer is not
an option and another recording program is not an option. It must be a
laptop with Windows 7 and Audacity.
2. If anyone has used such a computer and found it to be something that they
didn't like, was there a setting in Skype, Audacity or Windows 7 that they
changed to stop it from occurring. If so, where can that setting be found
and can it be easily reversed?
3. If there is a laptop that will work, I need both the brand and model.
Thank you.
