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
