Some of the questions that mean most here is what type of out puts do
you need if any special, and do you want it in the computer or as a
USB device? Most of the USB type have more than enough ports for just
about any thing you want to connect to it. About the only thing you
may need is a cable to make it easy reach to user. The one thing you
need to look at is how much it will handle as in built in ram.
A lot of users on this list have either a USB sound card or a USB
headset. They can also be used if USB ports are short.
personally, I use a wireless logitech headset g930 it comes with
everything for use out of box.
With the prices of the USB type you can actually go with both if desired.
Now as far as jaws goes or just being blind in general, don't mean a
thing with sound cards. Because jaws has no spec's for sound cards
any will do, its price that works. i will tell you this, Don't just
get the cheapest or a off the wall name. Check with google and read
some reviews on what your looking at. And another site I found
helpful when buying computer parts is YouTube.com Some vids on there
will show you working, what comes in box and what they think.

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.
Jo
