      Product Name: JAWS for Windows
      Version: 4.51
      Category: Synthesizers
      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.
