Hi Billy, Here is a little heads up on how to change the speakers in the manner I think you want. I believe You want your music to come out of your hi-fi system in one end of the room, and your jaws to come out of your computer speakers? Here is a good idea of where to look and what to check. I think it will lead you down the right road. Start by opening Windows Media Player. Now hit alt plus T to bring down tools. Now select Options. Select the devices tab . Now move to properties. You should see a link of button that reads... Look for devices on the web button Keep going and next is a list view and you will find speakers within this list. Highlight Speakers. Now Go into Properties, once there, go into Advanced and you will find a list of perhaps speaker 1 and speaker 2. You move up and down between these two sets of speakers using the up and down arrow keys. Select one of the two and then tab once to the configure button. Within this configure window you can check your speaker system and also set one or the other as default. You should be able to determine which one you want as default just by the sounds. I think you can easily take it from here, Billy. Good luck.

Windows sounds will always go through your default soundcard as set in the "Sound" control panel. JAWS can be set to send sound where from within the "utilities" menu. For you music playing or sound/music editing software use its dialogues to direct the sound to your desired USB device. Winamp is a good example of an audio player that is capable of this. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of HotScot Sent: 12 May 2011 13:19 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: sound cards? Hi, In that case, where would I make the changes, say if I wanted the JAWS + Windows sounds to come through my on-board card, and all other things through the external ccard, Billy -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tristram Llewellyn Sent: 11 May 2011 13:09 To: 'access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [access-uk] Re: sound cards? It should not technically matter so long as the soundcard works OK. Usual practice might be to have JAWS + Windows sounds through the onboard and then anything else go through the other soundcard on the basis you want to keep JAWS speech away from the other sound channel. JAWS version 10 and above will let you freely specify which soundcard you go through with JAWS. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of HotScot Sent: 11 May 2011 13:05 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] sound cards? Hi guys, I'm thinking of using 2 sound cards on my Acer latop system. Is it better to run jaws through my on-board sound, or through the external USB sound card just installed?, Billy ** 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 ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
