Annabelle,
Seems to me that if switching monitors is causing you problems, and that you
absolutely need to have both computers, why not just purchase a cheap monitor
for the other computer and not switch at all? They're pretty cheap. I know you
just received a new DAW, but don't fight something like this over a $100 or so
monitor.

Actually, the confusion may stem from what I'm trying to do, While I'm
recording, I want to switch the monitor over to the A-switch, on my documents
computer, to type while the B-side, my music machine is recording. two separate
tasks. I don't see what that has to do with copyright? I'm confused!

OK, well regarding drm, when you unplug something from the computer,
specially digital outputs, windows by defaults turns them off or looks for
other analog alternatives, as to prevent piracy of any sort. Also, if windows
can't tell if something's plugged into an analog jack (by using what is called
jack sensing) it also shuts off the output or switches to another available
card. This all has to do with drm and preventing you from violating copyright
for protected content. For example when playing a protected blue-rey disc, if
windows doesn't detect an HDCP (High-definition copy protection) capable
monitor/receiving device, it will not play the disc; it's non allowed. If it
does play the disc, it will do so in standard definition, not in high
definition, it depends how the hdcp was setup for the disc/player.
To apply this to you, because you don't have speakers plugged in, it's
probably why your headphones aren't working, though it should detect when you
plug them in. It just might be that snese the motu is set to be the default
card, when the new card is active, windows won't switch to it, because in your
preference you chose the motu as the default card, which it's already using.
Therefore, windows won't switch to another card, unless your prefered choice,
(the motu) is not available. Hense why I worte to unplug/turn off the motu,
plug in the headphones, and power on your computer. Why do all this? Because
even if you plugged in your headphones and switched the motu off and windows
started using the built-in souncard/headphones, jaws for some reason (at least
in my case) takes a bit to switch to another card, and sometimes it doesn't at
all until you restart jaws, and if windows doesn't feel like it, it might not
switch over and start using your built-in sound card.
HTH, D!J!X!

O... it sounded like you were physically unplugging... I guess windows's drm
still detects the monitor removal. Did you try my other suggestions?

No no, I don't switch the cable, it happens when I press the A-switch, to
switch to the monitor on my other machine.

I have my Monitor, Keyboard and mouse plugged into a KVM Switchbox. And yes,
the two machines are next to each other.

Hey are the 2 machines in the same room/next to each other? If so, consider a
KVM switch box or a splitter box just for the monitor. Or, if your monitor has
multiple inputs, switch that way. Unplugging and plugging the monitor can cause
issues, with windows 7's drm, screen resolution and automatic switching, and
eventually wire/pin waring problems if using VGA or DVI ports.
HTH, D!J!X!

Importance: High
I don't know why, but when I press record, then when I press stop after
recording, JAWS won't speak to me. Right now, I have both JAWS and my main
Windows Audio, as well as the music I make, coming out the MOTU. I want to have
JAWS and the Windows audio come out of the Realtech HD Audio Sound Card, but
when I do that, I don't hear anything when I plug the headphones into the jack
on top of my computer's tower. Also, if I happen to switch the monitor over to
my other machine while recording or playing, the audio engine turns completely
off. Is there a way to fix it so that the Audio Engine isn't affected when I
switch the monitor between my music machine and my documents machine? I've
tried looking at the power options in Windows 7, but that didn't do anything.
Please help!
