I don't know about jaws, but I have for some time successfully run a 2 soundcard system, using the standard built in one for window-eyes, and an alesis IO2 USB box for other audio stuff, and have never had any problems. I will say however, that this is under win-xp, and I am not sure if the IO2 is properly supported under win7 64bit, as alesis seem to have been super slack with there driver support, according to some research I did when looking in to this, so when I upgrade the OS on that machine, if this is the case, I may well change the IO2 for the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB box, which seems to be a good device, and is fully win7 64bit supported. hope this helps.

The service is using Station Playlist Creator and Station Playlist Studio for its automation software. When I worked directly at the agency and we originally set up the system, we tried to have two sound cards and tell JAWS which card to use. The problem was that whenever we would load JAWS, the automation software would crash. The only recourse we would have was to reboot the computer. At the time, we solved the problem by finding an older DoubleTalk external synthesizer. Now, however, the agency is having problems with the computer that runs the radio reading service. Although I no longer reside in the locale of the agency's offices and studios, I have agreed to help them via telephone and internet through this situation. After trying everything we know, we--the agency, the agency's computer technician and I--have decided to replace the radio reading service's automation computer. We want to try the dual sound card set-up again because we don't think the DoubleTalk will work with the new computer. What are some sound cards that are known to work well in this set-up? Thanks.
