USB headset now works, sort of!
Hi all! Thanks for the suggestions on how to get the USB headset going. I followed your suggestions and it works just as it should. However, it's not automatic, meaning that when I unplug the headset and plug it back in, skype doesn't see the headset and I have to keep going into the options and manually set it to the Logitech USB headset. This is good for when I call someone, but when someone calls me and I don't have it plugged in, you can see what a hastle this could be. Is there anyway to get skype to just automatically see the USB headset and just start using that without me having to manually switch it to that?

Sometimes that happens with USB devices. Don't know why, but couldn't you just leave the headset plugged in? At 04:06 PM 12/27/2005, you wrote: Hi all!

Chris, Leave the headset plugged in all the time, and, if you want to hear JAWS through your desktop speakers, edit jfw.ini to force Eloquence to use them, and foil skype's stealing away Eloquence' output. Let me know if you need instructions on this last. Blessed Be, Dana that's Dayna, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A D. S. Leslie, née C. R.

Re: USB headset now works, sort of!
Well, there may be some way to force the DECTalk software speech to use the card driving your desktop speakers, just as there is a way to force Eloquence to do this. But, as I don't know anything about DECTalk's software speech, you'll have to get directions on that from someone else. But, at least, I think, that is the question you need answered. BTW, if you're using JAWS, why don't you use eloquence? If all else fails, I suppose, you could switch to it. Then, the solution to your problem would be to do exactly as I'm doing. Let me know if you ever decide to go that route. Blessed Be, Dana that's Dayna, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A D. S. Leslie, née C. R.

Re: USB headset now works, sort of!
Chris, The following is taken from my JFW.INI file. Even though you're not using Eloquence, I imagine your jfw.ini must have lines analogous to the first three lines below, setting the DECTalk software synthesizer as your primary synthesizer. If so, I'm guessing, you can also add a line analogous to the fourth line below, forcing the software synthesizer to output through the named device. I don't imagine, at least, that it would hurt to try doing so. If you want to try this, be sure to reproduce the spacing in the fourth line exactly, and to use the exact name of your desired output device (in place of mine), with exact spacing and case. After you've saved the edit, exit and restart JAWS, and see if it works, even after a reboot.' [Synthesizers] Synth1Name=eloq Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS Synth1Driver=eloq Synth1Port=C-Media Wave Device Synth2Name=NoSpeech Synth2LongName=No Speech Synth2Driver=nospeech Synth3Name=SAPI 5X Synth3LongName=SAPI 5 Synth3Driver=sapi5x I don't know if this'll work with DECTalk software speech. but I thought it worth a try.

Re: USB headset now works, sort of!
hi. What I've decided to do is to just switch to my dec-talk express since that's a hardware synthesizer, and won't effect the sound card at all. I do like the dec-talk access 32 software speech though, so it's what i use most of the time when i'm online. but it's very easy for me to switch synths, pick up my headset and answer the skype call. so that's fine.
