Motie
her is how you do this. The only thing to leave out is to download the
requested file from FS. If you use 5.0 or higher you don't need to download
it. Also do not start Jaws automatically or it will use the Audiogy as it's
default. Set it up on a hot key and start it that way after the system
boots.

Product Name: JAWS for Windows
Version: 4.51
Category: Synthesizer
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.
