>>
>> Answer:
>>
>> Many JAWS users who also use music or audio production software want
>> JAWS
>> and Eloquence to speak through one sound card, while using the other
>> for
>> their
>> production work. To do this, you need to edit a file called JFW.ini

>> file.
>>
>> Editing the jfw.ini file:
>>
>> 1. Using My Computer or Windows Explorer, browse your hard drive to
>> the
>> currently running version of JAWS and find the jfw.ini file in that
>> folder.
>>
>> 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 for
>> all entries for Eloquence.
>>
>> 4. Add the following line after the driver line: Synth1Port=SB Live!
>> Wave
>> Device Of course, you need to make sure that the synth number matches
>> the
>> other
>> lines, so that if the Driver line read:
>>
>> Sytn3Driver=eloq
>>
>> Then the port line would read:
>>
>> Synth3Port=SB Live! Wave Device
>>
>> 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.
>>
>> 5. Save your changes and exit Notepad. With JAWS version 5.x and
>> higher, you
>> are done.
>>
>> If you have JAWS version 4.x, you will also need to install the
>> updated
>> driver. As long as JAWS is running and speaking through Eloquence,
>> eloq.jls
>> cannot
>> be simply overwritten when unzipping the file. You will need to
>> switch to
>> NoSpeech or MS SAPI to get the eloq.jls to overwrite properly.
>>
>> 1. Download the file from
>>
>> ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/eloq.zip
>>
>> 2. Unzip the zip file into the root of the active JAWS directory
>> where you
>> made the change to the jfw.ini file.
>>
>> 3. Restart JAWS and it should now be speaking from the sound card you
>> wanted.
>>
>> 4. If not, make sure the entries are correct in the jfw.ini file and
>> that
>> your sound card is indeed installed correctly. Most audio and music
>> production
>> software allows you to select a sound device for it as well, so it
>> can use
>> one sound card while JAWS uses another.
