Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] WHAT TO KNOW WHEN SHOPPING FOR A SOUND CARD
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
