Greetings
In some cases, when using JAWS with Eloquence with some sound cards, such as
the SB Live or the Yamaha Soft Synthesizer, Eloquence sometimes begins to
stutter
during intense processing on some computers.
Solution:
There are a couple of things that one might want to check into to see if the
stuttering problem can be gotten under control or even totally eliminated.
Check to make sure that the most up-to-date drivers for the particular sound
card being used are installed.
Make sure that features such as reverb and sound sampling are turned OFF or
set to minimum levels. This can be done by using the properties icon in the
control panel for the specific sound card.
Make sure that no other external applications are installed and running in
the system tray. Some sound cards such as the SB Live will install several
of
these applications by default, and users are unaware that they are running
and taking up processing time from the machine.
Hope this info offers you some help.
