Thanks Bill, Tim and Gordon.
It looks like I'm now on the lookout for a soundcard.
Take care.

Hi, Gordon,
Your Sound Max card may not be technically incompatible with SONAR but it is
definitely not a good choice. You want to dedicate a low-latency audio
interface for use with SONAR. If you have a firewire port on your new system,
consider something like the Presonus Firebox. I understand that the firewire
port should be based on the T I (Texas Instruments) flavor of firewire for best
results.
I don't know if the following instructions will help with your install under
Vista, but I do know that they should under XP. Give them a try and let us
know how things turn out.
Check the following:
Control Panel | Sounds and Audio Devices
CONTROL+TAB to Audio Tab
Make sure that Sound Playback Default and Sound Recording Device are pointing
at your low-end soundcard for JAWS speech.
Tab to Always Use Default Devices and check it.
Tab to Apply button and press SPACE Bar.
Even with this properly set, you may have to unload and restart jaws once you
start up to your desktop before running SONAR. Or you can remove the Start
JAWS First option (see Options | Basics and tab to this option and uncheck it)
and load JAWS with a hotkey after PC boots. To disable the "Run JAWS First"
option, press INSERT+J or possibly INSERT+F11, J to bring JAWS to the
foreground, see Options | Basics and tab to this option and uncheck it.
Regards,
Bill

Subject: [ddots-l] Internal sound card
Hi
I'm totally new to Sonar Producer and the scripts so please bear with me.
I have a new PC with a dual XP and Vista boot. Can anyone advise me of the
following?
1. Can I put Sonar on both partitions?
2. Most Important answer required: I have Sonar on Vista partition. I also
have a Sound Max internal soundcard with quite a number of channels )I think
for different speaker formations). When I load up Sonar it appears to disable
this card for use in Sonar. Is this normal or is my soundcard incompatible. I
also have an Alesis Multimix usb2 mixer and a Zoom H4 which both can be
interfaced with Sonar. I understand that these latter 2 devices are better to
use with Sonar but I would at times like to use my internal soundcard. I've
played around a bit with the Audio settings in Sonar, but as yet can't get any
sound out of the program.
Is any help or advice available?
Regards.
Gordon McFarlane
