John:

This is what confuses me. ... I have tried the PC sound card as my default a
number of times, with the same results.  Once I do this with the TS590
connected, Jaws speech disappears.

That shouldn't work that way. You can tell jaws which sound card to work out
for that matter, then change things around.
