Re: what speech device to use on a laptop when playing music question
Ok. With Jaws 10 and later, there is a sound card manager. Main Jaws window, utilities, sound cards sub menu. It is normally set to the windows default sound card but you can set it to the exact device you like. So, if you have built in sound and a USB audio device, you can set jaws to the internal sound card and use sound and audio devices to set the default sound to the external card. This is with XP. Don't know about Vista and 7. If you only want the music from your media player to go to the external sound card, you would leave the internal sound card as your default and change the output in your media player. One thing about USB audio devices. They automatically become the default audio device when plugged in. I forget if there is a way to stop that. You know. After all that, you might be better off with a hardware external speech synthesizer. Only one I know about is the Triple Talk but don't know if is even available.
