Ann,
How did you get your music to come out of the USB card? Did you have to
reconfigure your music player program(s) to play through it, rather than
default on-board card? Seems to me that any program you'd want to play
through the USB card, you'd have to configure -- at least, this is true in
Winamp. I see in your instructions that you configured JAWS to use the
on-board card. But I don't see the step(s) where you reconfigured your
players. Thoughts?

That was very informative and concise. Thank you.
