My idea is that this turntable is telling Windows that it's a soundcard device (I have a USB soundcard, and it does the same thing; as soon as you plug it in, Windows by default switches to it as the soundcard to be used). It probably needs to do this so that audio recording programs can interface with it properly. There's a way to force jaws to use a specific soundcard, but I don't know what it is. You'll need to call FS for help or research this on their knowledge base. Anyway, just forcing it to use the built-in soundcard may be enough to get around this. Alternatively, if you could use a braille display or a hardware synthesizer, that too could get you around this. hth, Chip ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission Chip.Orange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) ________________________________ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of tiscali Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2007 4:59 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: USB Turntable Hi list. I recently purchased a turntable to transfer records on to the computer. My problem is that once I plug in the turntable to the USB Port, the Jaws completely stops. I have tried using the Windows speech software, but same thing happends. Any ideas would be gratefully received. I am using XP Home with Jaws. Ron
