Tom,

If you go into the jaws utilities/sound card menu,  the first item will 
be "windows default sound card" and that is probably checked.   Assuming 
your usb device is plugged in, you will see "speakers usb" or something 
like that, and maybe some others.  The one you want to find and check 
should say something like "speakers realtek high definition audio".

You  mayalso see something  like "realteck digital audio output".  You 
don't want this one, look for something that starts with speakers and 
doesn't have "usb" in the name.

If you do this with the usb device unplugged, you should have one less 
item in the list to confuse you.
