Dustin, Price sounds fine. You really don't need a high-quality sound card for JAWS use. If using JAWS 9 or lower, you'll need to add a line to your jfw.ini file like this: Synth1Port=SigmaTel Audio This is presuming that: 1. Your Eloquence is Synth1 2. Your sound card is SigmaTel Audio Of course, your sound card will very likely be different. SO once you've installed the sound card and its drivers, then go to Control Panel and then Sounds and Audio Devices, and look under the Audio tab to see the *exact* spelling of the new sound card you installed. Copy that name exactly in the jfw.ini file as I've directed above. If you're using JAWS 10 then I have no idea how to do this. I don't use JAWS 10. Hope this helps.

Does $49.99 sound too expensive, guess I'm not sure what I'm looking for. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: Sunday, May 31, 2009 4:08 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: What type of external soundcard do I want? Dustin, Any cheap audio USB stick will work fine. You'll need to tell JAWS to use it as the primary port, once you've installed it on your computer.

Can someone please help me with this. Hi, I'm trying to have jaws run through a headset, and have the content on my laptop play through its speakers. What type of external soundcard works best with jaws. I'm not wanting to spend a ton of money.
