actually Darren while what paul says is true it is not really the full story. There is an article about how to change which soundcard JAWS uses and the sound card JAWS uses by default is not necessarily the default windows sound card. a link to the article about how to control which sound card JAWS uses can be found at: http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_support/BulletinView.asp?QC=432 Ignore the stuff about eloquence and updating it as you will not have to do this, certainly if you are using J'AWS 5 or later.
