Many of these Skype phones seem to cause problems with the onboard sound of PCs. The very worst seem to disable the onboard sound for the duration thedevice is plugged in and Jaws comes through the handset. This one soundslike it has altered the configuration of the PC even when it is not pluggedin. A suggestion would be to use the Eloquence trick to direct it to the correct sound device, note that this will only work if the phone has notdisabled the onboard sound, which in your case it doesn't sound like it has.You will have to adaptor the example below to accomodate your Sigmatel soundcard but the procedure is the same.Information below will help you get Jaws to address the right soundcard theexample is for SB live but just subsitute the name windows gives the soundcard in "sounds and audio" control panel on the "audio" page. 1. Using My Computer or Windows Explorer, browse your hard drive to the currently running version of JAWS and find the "jfw.ini" file in that folder. 2. Press ENTER to open. 3. You should find some lines that read: Synth1Name=eloq Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS Synth1Driver=eloqThe number doesn’t matter, it may be 1, 2, or 3, but it must be the same forall entries for Eloquence. 4. Add the following line after the driver line: Synth1Port=SB Live! Wave Device Of course, you need to make sure that the synth number matches the other lines, so that if the Driver line read: Sytn3Driver=eloq Then the port line would read: Synth3Port=SB Live! Wave DeviceThe text after the = sign in the Port line comes from Control Panel/Sound &Multimedia/Audio tab It must be one of the entries that can be chosen for Preferred Playback device. 5. Save your changes and exit Notepad. Regards. Tristram Llewellyn Sight and Sound Technology Technical Support www.sightandsound.co.uk
