How would that work if the phone at some places is through a software phone
that's on the computer? A second sound card hooked to USB would probably be
what you want then, but since this one, at least the one I talked to
Plantronics about, only supports certain desk phones, appears to not be
usable in that case. Another guy called me back and said that it might work,
but the amplifier might not be compatible and that could make the mic either
mute or very low to the caller. Since this thing is a custom order item, how
would one be sure it would work adequately since there are likely no
returns? I don't want to waste VR's money to find out when I get a first
call that they hear nothing.

In all the years I've used JAWS, it's never been set up to allow
channeling
to a single side. Appears to be a purely monaural signal fed to the sound
driver.
I use a Plantronics headset specifically designed for this need. Left side
is telephone plus boom mike, right side is sound card output. They also
sell
a sound card dongle designed to work with this splitting.

I did that with a piece of custom hardware when I was working. One of the
field engineers made a splitter box for me. It had two inputs on one side
and one output on the other side. The box was a plastic box about a little
smaller than a cigarette package. Inside the wires from the sound card
went
to one side of the stereo jack for the headphones. The phone wires went to
the other side along with the transceiver for the mike. At the time the
cost
was about $9 for the parts. If you know any ham radio operators they
should
be able to make one for you very easy. Also some of your computer support
technicians may also be able to make the box. I retired in 1999 and about
2
years ago while cleaning up I tossed it. I had not needed it since I
retired
and then a few weeks ago I really could have used it when on the phone
with
an Apple support tech.

I've been using JAWS for 19 years and so far have not encountered that
ability. Honestly though that might very well be an issue with sound card
technology more than anything else.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JFW and balance of sound for headsets
Hello all,
I was wondering if there is a way to force jaws to only play in the left
or
right channel? I use a headset at work for calls and I would like it if I
could set at least jaws to only come to one ear and then I can set the
phone
calls to be heard in the other ear. I have a very hard time listening to
jaws and the phone through the same ear.
Thanks,
Jason
