I reckon if you've got a problem with JAWS coming thru the wrong
soundcard, then the way to go is as Phil said in his original posting.
I guess some of us just don't have an issue with this?

>>>
>>> 2. Press ENTER to open.

>>> 3. You should find some lines that read:

>>> Synth1Name=eloq
>>>
>>> Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS
>>>
>>> Synth1Driver=eloq
>>>
>>> The number doesn't matter, it may be 1, 2, or 3, but it must be the same

>>> Synth3Port=SB Live! Wave Device
>>>
>>> The text after the = sign in the Port line comes from Control

>>> 5. Save your changes and exit Notepad. With JAWS version 5.x and higher,

>>> 1. Download the file from
