Hi all. To get JAWS to run from on-board speakers and all other audio through my SoundBlaster external card, using XP Home, Audrey Taunge advised, some years ago as follows...
Firstly I certainly would put jaws through another set of speakers, the INI file is the jfw.ini file in the jaws that you have. You will need to insert the line synth1port= followed by the exact name of your onboard soundcard. The best way to find this is to go to control panel then sounds and audio devices and look for the soundcard that is the onboard one. Virtualise the window with insert plus control and W . Now copy to the clipboard the exact name of your soundcard. Open the jfw.ini file and go down to the line that says, Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS, or it could say another name, depending on how your jaws is set. The important thing is the synth1 long name =. Immediately under this line you should type Synth1Port= immediately followed by the name of your onboard soundcard. This should be placed following the = sign with no space or it will not work. The phrase should be on a line of it's own and immediately followed by the next line. please be very careful doing this as you could lose jaws if it is not done correctly! However, I do advise you to do it in this way.
I'm now running JAWS 9 on a VISTA computer. Can anyone advise me how to go through the same process if indeed it's possible. Thanks. Best wishes.
