Jaws has a way to change sound cards. Jaws utilities sound cards sub menu.
Maybe Jaws is getting confused. It does on my xp machine. When I change
default cards from sounds and audio devices, Jaws gets mixed up as to which
card I selected in Jaws utilities. Even when I choose a specific cad
instead of default, Jaws changes my selection when I change default audio
device in control panel. This has been happening since Jaws introduced the
sound cards menu and still happens with Jaws 13.
Haven't had a chance to try this in Windows 7 yet.

Steve, you have it pegged correctly. Yes, my previous experiences
have involved Windows XP Professional, while all of the issues I am
trying to overcome here are with a Windows 7 notebook. Yes, I too
have had that funny separation occur involving JAWS coming out of a
different output channel from the one where multimedia content is
playing. I've not figured that one out, either.
I've not tried direct sound recording yet with a Windows 7 desktop
that has a separate, dedicated sound card. So far I've used only this
notebook with built-in, integrated sound. Regardless of the cause, a
third-party software solution is logical to try; but the one which
appears to work, according to testimonials I have read, seems to be
inaccessible.
Ultimately, my solution might look like keeping an older XP PC or
netbook around just to make and process simple sound recordings, as
well as other functions that don't necessarily require a lot of
memory-intensive multitasking. My Windows 7 notebook is fast, and its
function above all is to perform tasks related to profitable work.
For this, I am satisfied it will do just fine.
