Don My Man, Thanks very much, these are exactly the instructions I need. You know... basic and idiot proof. I to have a built in sound card in this new machine so this will be perfect. Now if I can only figure out this damn pod-cast thing I will be a happy camper. Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Don Moore Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2007 4:07 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Hearing jaws while playing music Hi Larry and Gene, My PC has a built-in or onboard sound card that came with my original purchase. I bought a SoundBlaster Odigy sound card and inserted it in the slot at the back of my tower. Then, I purchased a mixer board from Radio Shack and plugged it into a USB port on my tower. I have 6 ports on my mixer board, so I ran a cable from one port to the onboard card and another cable to the external card; that way, I can control each volume separately. Now, by default, all audio on my PC uses the external SoundBlaster card. So, I had to tell JAWS to use the onboard card, as follows: In order to have JAWS running off the on-board sound card (i.e. the RealTech sound card) instead of the SoundBlaster Odygy, you must insert the following line into the jfw.ini file of the JAWS version you are using: Synth1Port=Realtek HD Audio rear output This line must be inserted in the new jfw.ini file each time you upgrade to a new version of JAWS; otherwise, JAWS will run off the SoundBlaster card just like everything else on your PC. The line must be inserted just above the first line that starts with Synth2. The path for the jfw.ini file for JAWS 9.0 is: C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\Jaws\9.0\jfw.ini Hope this helps, Don ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Stansifer" <larrys@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2007 4:21 AM Subject: RE: Hearing jaws while playing music > Don, > > As they used to say in those old college essay tests "please describe > in > as > much detail as necessary the process for installing a second sound card > and > mixer." > Sounds like a great solution however I could use more details.
