Hi all Mandy and I both have irivers 140 and 340 both have remotes. Whenever I have tried to the emotes I have ended up without speech on the player; at the moment all the iriver does is bleep and play music. I presume it is using the original firmware instead of rocbox. Is there a simple way of getting rockbox back and is it advisable for totally blind users not to use the remote? The other help I need is advice on external digital soundcards. I use my Dell Dimension as an add on to my hifi. Unfortunately it doesn't have an optical or coax digital output so I am looking for a USB soundcard with good sound quality which will work with jaws. At present I use a Trust card which cost about £25 with an optical output. To hopefully improve sound quality I bought through eBay an Audegy 2NX as it had a coax output but have not been able to get it working properly with jaws the speech is repeated and is distorted; also the music sounds like a CD skipping. The eBay seller sent me another soundcard which is no better. I now have 2 which will probably end up back on eBay unless anyone can advise me what I may be doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Brian
