You need to play with audio and volume output settings for individual programs in your control panel. My skype works so that JAWS is coming through my headphones and Skype and all other voices come through my speakers. I like it because my JAWS doesn't distract from what I am doing on Skype. I do on-line teaching using Skype and the students I work with have JAWS and their Skype coming through their speakers so I can hear them and what they are doing, but they don't hear my JAWS.

Subject: JAWS, Skype, and other audio/video files Hello, I have a question regarding using Skype, a screen reader, and a third party such as YouTube or an audio file. I was working with someone via Skype on something, and he allowed me to hear something he'd been working on which was actually a YouTube video. I could hear both the YouTube video and his voice coming from his computer. Am I able to do that, even if I have a screen reader such as JAWS? If so, how would I go about doing it? I tried testing it out with my friend by going to YouTube and playing a video, but what he heard was barely audible, except for what I was saying, which was fine. Any ideas? Thanks.
