Fortunately, one of the university techies had read about it and managed to find a patch which sorted it out. If you don't get any joy, I'll try to locate the guy that helped me.

Any ideas would be gratefully received. Essentially I am using Jaws 7.1 with Windows XP Pro and a SoundBlaster Live sound card. Having just installed Jaws I have found that I am now getting a very annoying crackling and faint echo following any verbalisations from Jaws. I think that the solution is to do with drivers for the SoundBlaster card but can't remember the details. Any elephants out there with long memories?
