Jerry is quite right. And, in fact, the only way I've been able (partially)
to resolve my problem is to switch my Windows default audio device from the
USB IMic Audio System to an internal C-Media sound card, which, since it's
not USB, does not get preempted by the headset. I do, though (as someone
else here suggested), have to close and restart JAWS every time I reboot,
before JAWS will speak through my desktop speakers, rather than the headset.
But that still leaves me with the problem that I cannot, now, play
Realplayer or Winamp through my IMic, since it is no longer the default
device. I've been told (third-hand) that RealPlayer cannot be configured to
use a device other than the Windows default as its default audio output
device. Can anyone confirm if that is, in fact, true? Also, can anyone
direct me to step-by-step instructions for reconfiguring Winamp, so it will
use a device other than the Windows default device as its default audio
output device (I've been told that this IS possible, with Winamp.)?
Thank you.
Blessed Be,
Dana
Sean! I'm quite certain that this became an issue because the
headphone / microphone in question is a USB device. These devices behave
totally different than the type of headphone / microphone you have by making
themselves the default audio device. when they are plugged in.
