Hi Wendy. Just before December, I purchased a Creative Soundblaster 24 bit External Sound Card and a set of Creative 5.1 speakers for around £100. I had to tell JAWS to stick with the on-board soundcard, but this was quite simple. Now I can listen to all of my audio as loud as I like and if I need to hear JAWS, I just turn up the volume on the old speakers. Best wishes.
