  I am glad it works for you.

  You can now enjoy experimenting with volume levels of jaws and any audio 
media you have.

  Smile.

    Steven, JAWS is now using my built-in sound card.  I remove the word "Wave 
Device" and it works.  Thanks allot to you and to all people who helps me.

      your lines should read as follows:

      Synth1Name=eloq
      Synth1LongName=Eloquence for Jaws
      Synth1Driver=eloq
      Synth1Port=SoundMAX Digital Audio! Wave Device

      hth.

        Thanks for that Allan.  I tried it but I have no luck.  I attached my 
JFW.INI below:

        Synth1Name=eloq
        Synth1LongName=Eloquence Software
        Synth1Driver=eloq
        Synth1Port=SoundMAX Digital Audio! Wave Device

        Allan, I want jaws use my built-in sound card which is "SoundMAX 
Digital Audio".  So, I put on the fourth line, "Synth1Port=SoundMAX Digital 
Audio! Wave Device".

        My external sound card is "Creative SB Live 24 Bit External Sound card".

          hi,
          no, what you need to do is, add 1 more line at the bottom. e.g.

          Synth1Name=eloq
          Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS
          Synth1Driver=eloq
          Synth1Port=SB Live! Wave Device

          remember, if your .ini file is shown the number others then 1, the 
4th line must follow the number. e.g.

          Synth3Name=eloq
          Synth3LongName=Eloquence for JAWS
          Synth3Driver=eloq
          Synth3Port=SB Live! Wave Device

            Thanks for the instruction.

            In step 3, the list of lines says,

            Synth1Name=eloq
            Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS
            Synth1Driver=eloq

            My question is, do I need to change the"Synth1Driver=eloq
            " by replacing the line in step 4?

            I just want to verify the procedures u gave so I'm sure that I'm on 
the right track.

            This is taken from the Freedom Scientific website and should help 
you to set up your soundcards.

            Question:

            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=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.

            Hope this helps.

            Stephen

              stephen,

              Seams, you are using two sound cards with JAWS.  May I ask you 
about setting up two sound cards using JAWS?

              I'm using a laptop wit built-in sound card and I have one 
external sound card.  I would like Jaws to use the built-in sound card 
          while the window sound skims will go to the external sound card.

              I don't know how to do that.  So, I'm hoping you could help me.  
Thanks in advance.

                one answer is to purchase a second soundcard.

                i have done this and would never go back to a single soundcard 
as the 2 work really well enabling me to use jaws at what ever 
          volume i want and also all other audio and window sounds at their own 
level.

                  This problem has been posted before, but till now there 
hasn't been a solution, the problem being that of Jaws using system 
          volume and not having its own.
                    If you're listening to audio, as I was this morning, in 
that instance the main menu presentation on Jaws 8, and you turn 
          up the volume to listen the jaws volume relative to the volume you're 
hearing will be very high. It would be very useful to be able 
          to turn down the jaws volume so it doesn't blast out at you when it 
speaks something that pops up on the screen.
                                        John.
