There is a Synthesizer and Braille manager, but no sound card manager as such, but like I said there is a list of sound cards. If I check the Windows default sound card, I lose sound from my headphones, as it goes back to the onboard speakers, so I have to change it to the headphones card - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Bentley To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, November 30, 2012 11:52 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Sound card issue Andy If you look under utilities in the JAWS MENU, there is a sound card manager which determines which device JAWS will use. You might try looking at that.

This means changing from the default by going to JAWS\utilities\sound cards, and changing from 'Windows default sound card' to the external headphones sound card. This works ok, apart from when I sometimes lose sound altogether! Anyhow, when I just went to listen to something on the pop out Iplayer, the sound from the Iplayer came out through the laptop speakers, while JAWS was still coming through the headphones. Very weird, and not what I wanted. Why might this happen? - Andy
