I agree with Tink. The Quality of the in and the out of the Audigy card is brilliant. Also I found in April when I bought mine that www.ebuyer.com was abut the best price I could find.

You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.

Barry,

Point 1. Yes, you can make an addition to your jfw.ini file like
this:

1. Open jfw.ini in Notepad.
2. Search for "Synth".
3. You'll see something like this:

Synth1Name=eloq
Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS
Synth1Driver=eloq

The number of the Synth may be different, but the important bit is
to find the Synth that refers to the Eloquence voice engine.

4. Immediately under the last line of the entries for whichever Synth number
is associated with Eloquence, put the following line, substituting the name
of the desired soundcard in place of the one I have:


Synth1Port=NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) Audio

If you're not sure exactly what to put after the equals sign, check
in your Speech & Sound settings in Control Panel for the exact wording.

Point 2. My other soundcard is an Audidgy and I really like it. The
sound both in and out is worth the money. The only thing that's irritated me
slightly is that everything I recorded on my old SB now sounds quite poor,
so I'm contemplating going back and starting again.


If you do buy an Audigy, and you don't want Jaws to use it, you will
need to make the adjustment outlined above to your jfw.ini file.

With previous combinations of soundcards, including older Creative
cards, it's been possible to influence which card Jaws uses by installing
them in a specific order. The Audigy however has none of that and will stick
itself to Jaws come hell or high water, unless you force Jaws to use a
specific card as above.


Tink.

Hi guys.

I've a bit of a shambles set up here when it comes to soundcards.

I've a low budget SB Live and a High-End Turtle Beach Catalina both in an XP
Home box.


Now to give a bit of backround.

I bought the TBC from the states and a friend sent it out to me. However
the mic/line in port is not working! And hasnt' doen since I got it, months
back. And he procrastanated majorly on when he took delivery and when he
sent it out so I couldn't even return it let alone do anything else with it.


So I've a TBC that I cant' record on but has excellent audio out, and a
soundblaster I can record on but has awful audio out and I cant' use
elaquince through because it's tied to the turtle beach.

Two questions.

1. Without installing/uninstalling cards can I direct elaquince in jaws to
use soundcard or or soundcard b as I wish?


Say select soundcard b, reboot and load jaws and it will run with soundcard
b and do the opposite to get it back to soundcard a?


2. I've some videos i want to record the audio from quite urgently so I'm
going to be out of pocket regardless of how long I wait. So a new soundcard
is called for. I was really really really really tryign to stay away from
creative but there's very little on the market at that price range of no
more than £100 and not a 20 quid jobby, and I refuse to use onboard sound as
the microphone port I find isn't good quality at all even on my little
swanky gigabit board.


So it maybe the audidgy I'm going for.

Any experiences?  Good bad points, things to look out for, other cards to
look at?

Thank you!

Barry
