Hi Christine;
I hope I did not misunderstood your question, but someone post this a while
ago to me and I thought it might be of some help to you.
Editing the jfw.ini file:
1. Using My Computer or Windows Explorer, browse your hard drive to the
currently running version of JAWS and find the jfw.ini file in that folder.
2. Press ENTER to open.
3. You should find some lines that read:
Synth1Name=eloq
Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS
Synth1Driver=eloq
The number doesn't matter, it may be 1, 2, or 3, but it must be the same for
all entries for Eloquence.
4. Add the following line after the driver line: Synth1Port=SB Live! Wave
Device Of course, you need to make sure that the synth number matches the
other
lines, so that if the Driver line read:
Sytn3Driver=eloq
Then the port line would read:
Synth3Port=SB Live! Wave Device
The text after the = sign in the Port line comes from Control Panel/Sound &
Multimedia/Audio tab It must be one of the entries that can be chosen for
Preferred
Playback device.
5. Save your changes and exit Notepad.
Now you must install the updated driver.As long as JAWS is running and
speaking through Eloquence, eloq.jls cannot be simply overwritten when
unzipping
the file. You will need to switch to NoSpeech or MS SAPI to get the eloq.jls
to overwrite properly.
1. Download the file from
ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/eloq.zip
2. Unzip the zip file into the root of the active JAWS directory where you
made the change to the jfw.ini file.
3. Restart JAWS and it should now be speaking from the sound card you
wanted.
4. If not, make sure the entries are correct in the jfw.ini file and that
your sound card is indeed installed correctly. Most audio and music
production
software allows you to select a sound device for it as well, so it can use
one sound card while JAWS uses another.
Note: This is what I put in my JFW.ini
Synth1Port=Creative Sound Blaster PCI
If you are using JAWS 7 you don't need to download the zip file but it there
in case you might need it.
Hote this helps.
Steve.

Subject: Sound card question
Hello,
I am new to the list and so excuse me if this is a boring and much-covered
issue.
I have purchased a Soundblaster type of internal sound card for my desktop
computer. The computer is a Dell and its onboard card is a Realtek High
Definition Audio. I want to route Jaws so that it comes through that card
and all other sound stays with the new Soundblaster. I have tried a couple
of suggestions and they didn't work. I know there's a way to do it because
I've seen it in a neighbor's computer, but they don't remember how it's
done. I looked at their JFW.ini file and I see no reference to it, but
that's where they say the modification must go. Could someone advise me,
please?
