RE: Using 2 sound cards
Thanks Nick. Would you, or anyone else for that matter, mind telling me how to get JFW to work through the onboard soundcard, once I've enabled it? Thanks for any and all the help.

RE: Using 2 sound cards
HI Mate, Taken from the Freedom Scientific support section: Question: I have two sound cards on my computer. How do I make sure JAWS uses the one I want? Answer: Many JAWS users who also use music or audio production software want JAWS and Eloquence to speak through one sound card, while using the other for their production work. To do this, you need to edit a file called JFW.ini and install the updated Eloquence Speech driver in the accompanying zip file. Editing the jfw.ini file: list of 5 items 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: list of 3 items nesting level 1 . 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. list end nesting level 1 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 Synth3Driver=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. With JAWS version 5.x and higher, you are done. list end If you have JAWS version 4.x, you will also need to 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. list of 4 items 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. list end -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Quinten Pendle Sent: Wednesday, 12 March 2008 7:31 AM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: FW: Using 2 sound cards -Original Message- From: Quinten Pendle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 11:28 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Using 2 sound cards Greetings all I am currently using a creative soundblaster Live, but find when I broadcast audio and communicate with people via e.g. msn, I can't really hear jaws propperly.

Re: Using 2 sound cards
So that's how they did it. They edited an .ini file. I hope Jaws 5.10 uses that as I am trying to get JFW to use my C-mMedia card and everything else onto my Sound Max. I think your best bet is to put playback on one, then recording on the other. That is the easiest way of putting JFW onto one and having it not interfere with recording.
