Hi, Sound works great! All drivers are loaded properly and jaws will speak as long as I close it then restart it from the desktop icon. This has me baffled!

Some drivers don't automatically install through Windows XP and have to be installed using the software that came with the sound card. Try playing some music or something to see if you get some sound. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but it's worth starting at the beginning.
