that's why I use winamp when I only have 1 sound card for everything,, 1
reason I use winamp anyway, I can turn the volume of music down on that with
out it changing the jaws volume, of course all I use for music is winamp on
all computers but that's 1 good reason. I have 2 sound cards on this
computer though so I can use one for jaws and 1 for everything else and am
thinking about adding a 3rd one for something else soon.
