First, be sure that in the default.jcf file under synthesizer you have checked 'allow wave files with synthesizer'. This choice only appears in the default.jcf menu, not the menus specific to an application.
In Control panel, go to Sounds and audio devices, control-tab to audio, and determine your audio output. Often it's a Sound Blaster card, saying something like "SB LIVE! 24-bit". Mine is an onboard chip, SigmaTel Audio.
Next. Go to JFW.INI, and locate the synthesizer lines related to Eloquence. My computer says
Synth1Name=eloq Synth1LongName=Eloquence Software Synth1Driver=eloq Immediately under the last line, insert Synth1Port=SB LIVE! 24 bitor whatever your onboard sound is. I rebooted JAWS next, and it all worked like a charm.
the USB sound card installed itself. When it's connected, music comes out of it and JFW comes through the lap top speaker. When it's disconnected everything comes through the lap top speaker as it used to do.
