First, what quality do you want and why, next will the cards you look at take the things you want to listen to like you said, third, qand this matters if money's tight, even if you do find one that meets your neads, could there be something better or just as good for a lower price? Finally, the most obvious thing, what kinds of inputs and outputs do you want and or need? Saddly, these stores and even Creative Labs won't understand the whole JAWS issue I don't think. So, you can't talk to them about this. You'll only have what people here tell you to go on for that. I'm not by any means saying you can't trust people here, I'm simpally Saying that this is one of those times when blindness issues may complicate things. Or perhaps not. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of joluland Sent: Saturday, October 08, 2011 9:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] WHAT TO KNOW WHEN SHOPPING FOR A SOUND CARD
Hi, When selecting a sound card, what are the most important things to look for? Creative Labs and Amazon have so many to choose from and, of course, all the numbers that follow the name of the card made me crazy. For over a year I've been experiencing a constant problem of JAWS suddenly giving up the ghost for no apparent reason. Lately, it's not occasional, but more like every minute when I'm reading by word or line. It doesn't happen when in "say all" mode. It does happen, though, quite often when I'm writing and when I read what I wrote, it's there. I'd like to get a sound card because just maybe the one the computer came with is not strong enough to accommodate JAWS and all the sounds I set up. I'm running JAWS12 latest build and Win7 SP1. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
