>>>
>>> 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 and
>>> install the updated Eloquence Speech driver in the accompanying zip
>>> 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.
>>>
>>> Now you must 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.
