Tom,

I think you are using JAWS.   Have you set the JAWS options/soundcards 
drop down menu to  use the pc's default sound card?    It solved the 
problem for me long ago.  No matter what goes on in Windows, or what 
sound card Windows decides to  call the "default", JAWS will always use 
  the pc's sound card.

This has worked on both XP and Windows 7.


BTW, sorry I took your name in vain earlier.   I should  have just said 
"some college professor in Michigan" and nobody would have known who it was.
