Messageyes this is easy. open the game JAWSKey+f2 choose configuration manager. this will make a jcf file for the game if there is not one already choose advanced from the set options menu. Check the sleep mode check box press enter to activate the ok button Close the configuration manager and say yes when it asks if you want to save the changes. from then on when the game is running JAWS will be silent. when you exit the game or alt+tab away from it JAWS will work normally.
