Re: Please...Re: Magicjack and Screenreaders
lots of ideas, do this first, go to control panel, sounds and audio devices, and, press control-tab. You will land on a tab which says volume page. Press the right arrow until you hear audio tab. Now press the tab key until you hear sound playback device, combo box, where you change the default playback device. USB Internet Phone by TigerJet if it says this, use that combo box to change it to your sound card, and then, do this, after you've changed it to your sound card, press tab until you hear, Use only default devices, check box not checked. Press the space bar to check this box. Now press tab to apply, and press the space bar, to apply your changes. Shift tab to ok, to close the dialog.

I really would like to get MJ working but not at the expense of jaws or any other interference. Any ideas out there?

Re: Please...Re: Magicjack and Screenreaders
Curtis, wow, those were the exact instructions I needed. Now got back all my sounds and I'm a happy man again. But, I have removed the MJ device and am not sure if I shold allow it any nmore of my worries? Does it do this reset each time you plug it in? Once I plug it in and start useing it, do I have to reset this setting only once? I am so busy that I can't spend time trying to fix things I know little about, so what do you think on going forward useing the MJ? Does it have any more tricks under its buttons?

A system restore might work. Also, try resetting your sound card's settings. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 1:38 AM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Please...Re: Magicjack and Screenreaders Hi All, Ok, about Magic Jack, glad your doing ok with it.
