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

Steven, JAWS is now using my built-in sound card. I remove the word "Wave
Device" and it works. Thanks allot to you and to all
people who helps me.

your lines should read as follows:
Synth1Name=eloq
Synth1LongName=Eloquence for Jaws
Synth1Driver=eloq
Synth1Port=SoundMAX Digital Audio! Wave Device

Thanks for that Allan. 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".

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! Wave Device

Thanks for the instruction.
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.
Stephen

stephen,
Seams, you are using two sound cards with JAWS. 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.

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.

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.
John.
