Hi Chris, On many computers there are two output sockets, one for headphones and another for a line output. It might be worth checking that you have the headphones plugged in to the headphone socket rather than the line out. The impedance is usually different and this might be causing the overload problem.

Today my wife has brought me a new headset with mike, from Argos, it is a usb connection with an oval push button mute and volume control halfway up the lead. I have plugged this in, and am finding my head is being blown off, the push buttons on the control don't seem to work, the system control volume is at 0. so my question is does JAWS have it's own volume, and if so how does one turn it down, or is it that the headset is not compatible to my computer? Many thanks for any help Chris P ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq -- This email has been verified as Virus free Virus Protection and more available at http://www.plus.net ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
