Guys, this is because the USB headset is in itself a soundcard. To force JAWS output through a specific sound source What you need to do is 1. Using Windows Explorer, locate the folder containing the program files for the version of JAWS you are running. For example, for JAWS 7.0 this would be C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\7.0 2. Now locate the file called jfw.ini and open it by pressing enter. It will open in notepad. 3. Within this file, you will find the following lines: block quote Synth1Name=eloq Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS Synth1Driver=eloq block quote end 4. Below these lines, paste a line such as block quote Synth1Port=Sound Blaster Audigy block quote end 5. The Soundblaster Audigy example is the name of the sound card you would prefer to use. The text after the = sign in the Port line comes from Control Panel/Sound & Multimedia/Audio tab It must be one of the entries that can be chosen for Preferred Playback device. 6. Now save and close the file and re-start jaws. list end ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
