Weinston. I am glad it works for you. You can now enjoy experimenting with volume levels of jaws and any audio media you have. Smile.

I remove the word "Wave Device" and it works.

I tried it but I have no luck. I attached my JFW.INI below: Synth1Name=eloq Synth1LongName=Eloquence Software Synth1Driver=eloq Synth1Port=SoundMAX Digital Audio! Wave Device Allan, I want jaws use my built-in sound card which is "SoundMAX Digital Audio". So, I put on the fourth line, "Synth1Port=SoundMAX Digital Audio! Wave Device". My external sound card is "Creative SB Live 24 Bit External Sound card". ----- Original Message ----- From: Allan Wong To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 11:24 AM Subject: jaws volume hi, no, what you need to do is, add 1 more line at the bottom. e.g. Synth1Name=eloq Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS Synth1Driver=eloq Synth1Port=SB Live! Wave Device remember, if your .ini file is shown the number others then 1, the 4th line must follow the number. e.g. Synth3Name=eloq Synth3LongName=Eloquence for JAWS Synth3Driver=eloq Synth3Port=SB Live!

In step 3, the list of lines says, Synth1Name=eloq Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS Synth1Driver=eloq My question is, do I need to change the"Synth1Driver=eloq " by replacing the line in step 4? I just want to verify the procedures u gave so I'm sure that I'm on the right track.

This is taken from the Freedom Scientific website and should help you to set up your soundcards. Question: I have two sound cards on my computer. How do I make sure JAWS uses the one I want? Answer: Many JAWS users who also use music or audio production software want JAWS and Eloquence to speak through one sound card, while using the other for their production work. To do this, you need to edit a file called JFW.ini and install the updated Eloquence Speech driver in the accompanying zip file. Editing the jfw.ini file: 1. Using My Computer or Windows Explorer, browse your hard drive to the currently running version of JAWS and find the jfw.ini file in that folder. 2. Press ENTER to open. 3. You should find some lines that read: Synth1Name=eloq Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS Synth1Driver=eloq The number doesn't matter, it may be 1, 2, or 3, but it must be the same for all entries for Eloquence. 4. Add the following line after the driver line: Synth1Port=SB Live! Wave Device Of course, you need to make sure that the synth number matches the other lines, so that if the Driver line read: Sytn3Driver=eloq Then the port line would read: Synth3Port=SB Live! Wave Device The text after the = sign in the Port line comes from Control Panel/Sound & Multimedia/Audio tab It must be one of the entries that can be chosen for Preferred Playback device. 5. Save your changes and exit Notepad. Now you must install the updated driver.As long as JAWS is running and speaking through Eloquence, eloq.jls cannot be simply overwritten when unzipping the file. You will need to switch to NoSpeech or MS SAPI to get the eloq.jls to overwrite properly. 1. Download the file from ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/eloq.zip 2. Unzip the zip file into the root of the active JAWS directory where you made the change to the jfw.ini file. 3. Restart JAWS and it should now be speaking from the sound card you wanted. 4. If not, make sure the entries are correct in the jfw.ini file and that your sound card is indeed installed correctly. Most audio and music production software allows you to select a sound device for it as well, so it can use one sound card while JAWS uses another. Hope this helps.

May I ask you about setting up two sound cards using JAWS? I'm using a laptop wit built-in sound card and I have one external sound card. I would like Jaws to use the built-in sound card while the window sound skims will go to the external sound card. I don't know how to do that. So, I'm hoping you could help me. Thanks in advance. From: Stephen Faill To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 9:06 AM Subject: Re: jaws volume one answer is to purchase a second soundcard. i have done this and would never go back to a single soundcard as the 2 work really well enabling me to use jaws at what ever volume i want and also all other audio and window sounds at their own level. stephen ----- Original Message ----- From: john coley To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 1:32 PM Subject: jaws volume This problem has been posted before, but till now there hasn't been a solution, the problem being that of Jaws using system volume and not having its own. If you're listening to audio, as I was this morning, in that instance the main menu presentation on Jaws 8, and you turn up the volume to listen the jaws volume relative to the volume you're hearing will be very high. It would be very useful to be able to turn down the jaws volume so it doesn't blast out at you when it speaks something that pops up on the screen.
