I have two sound cards on my computer. How do I make sure JAWS uses the =
one I want?
Answer:
Many JAWS users who also use music or audio production software want =
JAWS and Eloquence to speak through one sound card, while using the =
other for their
production work. To do this, you need to edit a file called JFW.ini and =
install the updated Eloquence Speech driver in the accompanying zip =
file.
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=3Deloq
Synth1LongName=3DEloquence for JAWS
Synth1Driver=3Deloq
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=3DSB 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=3Deloq
Then the port line would read:
Synth3Port=3DSB Live! Wave Device
The text after the =3D 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.
