Hello Scorpio,
You might check in the sound card submenu of the utility menu in the JAWS
window to see if JAWS is using the right sound card. It could be set up to
use headphone output or a different output device than what your other sound
devices are using. I noticed in the list of my devices in that menu that
high definition codecs for headphones had a couple entries in addition to
the default Windows sound card. You probably will want to confirm what
device is set up as default and whether or not that device is being used by
JAWS.
Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Tinny Jaws on my Laptop
Hi All,
I'm not sure if I've asked this before, but forgive my repetitiveness, as I
am desperate for a solution. Smile.
I have a Toshiba L500 laptop, running Windows 7 64 bit edition and the
latest build of Jaws 11.
Basically, what happens is that all of the other windows sounds, including
any music I play through the speakers are coming out just fine, and, in
fact, in wicked surround sound, something I did not expect from such tiny
laptop speakers as these.
Suffice it to say, while all of the other sounds are coming through just
fine, Jaws is coming through all tinny, as though, if I didn't know any
better, it were coming from a modem speaker or something like that.
I'm sure everyone here remembers those dial-up modem sounds?
Well, that's what Jaws sounds like, small and tinny.
Does anyone know if this is standard operating behaviour for Jaws on a
Windows 7 64 bit system, or is there a setting I've overlooked.
I've gone into the properties, and the sounds and all that other stuff, and
have fooled around with equalizer settings and the like, but again, it
doesn't seem to correct the problem.
I have gotten it to perk up, and even base a bit, but again, you still get
that distant sound, as though it were in St. Petersburg, Florida where it
originated. LOL.
Anyway, if anyone knows how to fix this, or even if this is what it's
supposed to sound like, please let me know.
Thanks for any help y'all can give me.
Scorpio
