[bcab] Re: SKYPE VERS JAWS PROBLEM

I think the problem is that the URL spanned two lines.  For convenience, I have 
pasted the text below.

When you connect a USB device to your computer, such as a USB sound converter 
for use with a headset/microphone, you often find that JAWS/Eloquence will
use the new USB device as its primary sound source. 

This is fine in the most part, since many people will want to hear JAWS through 
the supplied headset. However, if you want to hear JAWS from the speakers
connected to another sound card for optimum sound quality, then you certainly 
will not want this. Simply changing the Sounds and Audio devices within the
Windows Control Panel to reflect the two different sound sources is not usually 
enough in itself to tell JAWS which sound card to use for the eloquence
speech. Here is how to deal with that situation. 

list of 6 items
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

Subject: [bcab] SKYPE VERS JAWS PROBLEM

Hi there
 
I have an urget frustrating problem and need some help to resolve it.  I
had Jaws Ver 8.0 loaded and now just installed Skype latest version with
a USRobotics hand set.  NOw jaws is talking through the hand set not the
speakers.  I have reintalled Jaws and changesd USB ports with no change.
How do I get Jaws to speak through the speakers and not the phone.
 
Look forward to hearing from you.
 
Bernard
