Hello Mike: USB headsets normally have their own soundcard, thus if you use say, a Logitech or a Plantronics headset, you can have Jaws and Skype go to the headset instead of the computer soundcard.

During the first half of the audition prep, I found out that my computer only has one soundcard, and as a result, when I broadcast, my computer sounds and screen reader sounds would end up being broadcasted too. The person training me suggested that an external usb soundcard would solve this issue. Can any of you recommend a good plug n play usb soundcard that would work with the blue yeti usb mic, winamp 5.666, and windows 8.1? For anyone who has ever used multiple soundcards in an audio project involving talking to someone on skype, while broadcasting music over the web, do you know if external usb soundcards have a setting, something like an audition channel of sorts, that would allow you to take skype calls without broadcasting them online? If technology permits, I'm hoping to be able to play music over the air, and take requests via skype off the air. I hope that makes at least a little sense. I'm new to broadcasting online, so my question may sound a little confusing to some people. Thanks in advance for any help. Mike Rochester, NY.
