I don't know anyting about jaws, but I run window eyes and when I first 
plugged in my 590, it defaulted to that card and I lost speech.  I tell 
window-eeyes to run on the specific card, in this case realtech and it 
doesn't matter what the default card is.  I tell each program to run on 
the usb card.
