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.

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
