I just thought of one more possibility, there are mics that are very directional and mics that are Omni-directional, If you got a mic stand that had an adjustable goose-neck type mounting post and bought a directional mic that could solve your problem but get the mic from a place where returning it is not a problem.

Are you using the built-in mic i am using a desktop style microphone connected to the soundcard. and speakers on your computer? the speakers are also connected to the soundcard the soundcard is a real tech audio 97 or whatever it is called. If not, are your speakers set at a high volume? the speakers are set to a comfortable to listen to volume. not too loud and not to quiet. How close to your mic are the speakers? the speakers are either side of the monitor and the microphone is next to one of the speakers there is no room on this computer trolley to put it anywhere else. Have you tried using a headset to listen rather than the speakers? yes that was mentioned in the email, no one hears my screen reader if i use headphones they only hear it when i am not using headphones. If they hear your JAWS it indicates that they are hearing your speakers or there is an assignment issue with your sound card. Can you let us know what you have going and what you have tried? all i have tried is turn the volume down or use headphones i have no idea on configuring the soundcard or anything like that and of course i am using jaws 10 and windows xp Yvonne ----- Original Message ----- From: "wayne smith" <[email protected]> To: "'screen access software with skype'" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 25, 2010 11:06 PM Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] jaws echo feedback > It may help if you let us know your setup.
