Hi John,
Below is what I got from Freedom Scientific knowledge base. I had it
for several years as a reminder, but I think that nothing has
changed. I am currently using PCI sound card for my Jaws 8.0 and my
main speakers are used for music and other sounds. I also do
recording of my LPs and the Jaws speakers does not interfere with the
recordings.
Editing the jfw.ini file:
1. Using My Computer or Windows Explorer, browse your hard drive to
the currently running version of JAWS and find the jfw.ini file in that folder.
2. Press ENTER to open.
3. You should find some lines that read:
Synth1Name=eloq
Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS
Synth1Driver=eloq
The number doesn't matter, it may be 1, 2, or 3, but it must be the
same for all entries for Eloquence.
4. Add the following line after the driver line: Synth1Port=SB Live!
Wave Device Of course, you need to make sure that the synth number
matches the other
lines, so that if the Driver line read:
Sytn3Driver=eloq
Then the port line would read:
Synth3Port=SB Live! Wave Device
The text after the = sign in the Port line comes from Control
Panel/Sound Multimedia/Audio tab It must be one of the entries that
can be chosen for Preferred
Playback device.
5. Save your changes and exit Notepad.
Now you must install the updated driver.As long as JAWS is running
and speaking through Eloquence, eloq.jls cannot be simply overwritten
when unzipping
the file. You will need to switch to NoSpeech or MS SAPI to get the
eloq.jls to overwrite properly.
1. Download the file from
ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/eloq.zip
2. Unzip the zip file into the root of the active JAWS directory
where you made the change to the jfw.ini file.
3. Restart JAWS and it should now be speaking from the sound card you wanted.
4. If not, make sure the entries are correct in the jfw.ini file and
that your sound card is indeed installed correctly. Most audio and
music production
software allows you to select a sound device for it as well, so it
can use one sound card while JAWS uses another.
Note: This is what I put in my JFW.ini
Synth1Port=Creative Sound Blaster PCI
Hote this helps

Subject: [JAWS-Users] a wierd jaws issue
Ok. I edited the jfw.ini file to reflect what sound card I want jaws
to start from and it worked, but now when I start my machine jaws
starts fromthe wrong sound card and I have to restart jaws to
reflect the right sound card in jfw.ini. Iuse jaws 7. I heard there
are some fixes for this but I don't know what they are. Thanks.
