Suzanne, It may be possible to set the volume independently for each sound card by going to the control panel and open sounds and audio and then control tab to the voices tab. There you will find a list of all of your sound cards. Navigate to the one you want to adjust and then tab to the device volume button. I think you will find what you need there to adjust the volume for each sound card. If you continue to have trouble let me know. I managed to do this for a Logitech Music Anywhere device which transmits audio to our stereo in the living room. The Logictech device is really a USB sound card. With it I am able to keep JAWS on the computer and completely control where I want the music to go. All the music comes out of the stereo in the living room and JAWS as well as system sounds are on the computer. After I got it all set up and working the volume on the stereo was quite low and it was necessary for me to go out there and turn it up with the volume control on the stereo. I found that going where I dewscribed above allowed me to raise the volume to a louder level. You may need to adjust the volumes for both cards to get them where you want them.

Probably not doing things right. Running ins and outs now I still get the same outcome as I had before changing the .iny file. Just two configurations to get the same thing. Actually better off before as now Jaws volume is much, much softer than everything else, yet the dial on either card adjusts both. So for now I guess I wil change it all back to one card or the other. Still don't know why I can get sounds separated in control panel but not volume?
