Hi,

 

Are you sure the volume in your external sound card is not down or muted?

 

All the best

Subject: [access-uk] Sound card problem

 

Hi all -

 

I have JAWS working ok through my laptop speakers, but I like To use an
external soundcard with headphones. All had been working ok, until this
morning.

 

I couldn't get any sound through my sound card, so had a look around to see
if I could sort it!

 

From the JAWS utilities menu, under sound cards, Windows default sound card
is checked. So, I left that alone, and went to the system tray, opened up
the play back devices from within volume, and found the name of my external
SoundBlaster card, and set it as the default sound card. And that seems to
be my mistake, as now, when I boot up the laptop, if the external sound card
isn't connected, JAWS speaks to me, but as soon as I plug the USB sound card
in, sound is lost, not just JAWS, but all sound, and I have to take the
sound card out, and reboot. And of course, if I boot up with the sound card
connected, I get no sound at all

 

Anybody  help me to sort this one please? -

 

Andy
