My JAWS talks through the WAVE input. I still have a line input that I
could pan to the other channel if so desired. I'm doing this now. You also
have other inputs to choose from (like Microphone, phone line). Of course,
the availability of these inputs depends on the actual sound card you have
installed.
You would have to configure your phone output software to use an input other
than WAVE. But if that software supports it, it should be possible to have
JAWS in one ear and your phone conversation in the other, without buying
that exceedingly expensive head set from Plantronics.

Tom,
I think the problem you allude to is that if we do use the control panel to
pan JAWS all the way to the right, for example, then any audio being output
by the phone software driving the same device will also be panned right.
The audio control (sound chip) needs to have two inputs involved, one for
JAWS, other for phone. I've not seen how to do this on an on-board sound
chip/card.

In XP you can do this with the Volume Control program. Each input has a
balance setting that allows you to position its audio anywhere you want in
the stereo image. So you could put the input that JAWS talks on all the way
to the left and whatever else you need to hear to the right. However, if
you're hoping to separate signals that come into Volume Control on the same
input, then you won't be able to do it with this program.

Everet,
I don't think I have ever heard of this being possible. It would require
first that JAWS be a true stereo signal, which I think is not the case for
any of the synthesizers, hardware or software. Something for FS to seriously
consider, however. It would certainly move toward a much simpler solution to
the question at hand.

Good afternoon,
Isn't it possible, particularly in Vista, to set the balance for JAWS to one
side and the balance for whatever else you are listening to to the other
side?

If you need independent audio in each ear with a standard low-cost boom mike
+ headphone then you need to add the following to your purchase:
1. A three:1 audio patch cable that will split out the headphone input jack
to the three signals - right/left headphone and mic input.
2. a separate USB sound card to plug in the computer for your second audio
mic/headphone processing.
Plug the other ear to the computer on-board chip and you should be good to
go after twiddling with the default audio device for JAWS.

Sheesh o mudda! Is there not a headset like this where I could have jfw in
one ear and say skype in the other for a cheaper price than that? Most head
sets I see are aruptly $50 to $100, and that is for a dang! good one, too!
Granted, they won't seperate jfw from one ear to another, but I'd assume my
point still stands, or, am I sadly mistaking.

Yes, I have done the things you suggested. However, since there is no
available commercial headset with different sources wired to each ear (and
of course, if desired, a mic for phone or DJ), then you end up wiring it
yourself.
as you are aware, such a home brew device cannot stand the beating a headset
takes and they fall apart quickly or just lose connection.
I have also thought about stereo headphones and use asplitter of some sort
to route two different signals to the ears. However, I cannot come up with
the "inverted" splitter this would require. Normal splitters take one source
and multiply the outputs, here, you would be taking a stereo speaker set and
splitting the sides.
Yikes! Is it any wonder I am half crazy! Anybody know a small electronics
manufacturer to talk to???

While i don't know what sort of device you've looked at, my sense is that to
get JAWS in one ear and music in the other is more a function of sending
different sources to different sides of a stereo image and less a function
of the phones you use. You might consider having two soundcards with your
music coming out of one and your JAWS coming out of the other with each card
panned hard to one side or the other. Would that make sense? Are you using
a desktop or laptop for this trick?

I'm looking for a headset, that will enable me to listen to jaws in one ear
and a person, on a VoIP phone) in the other ear. It must have a noise
reduction feature.
Thank you for all help!
