Hi Kathy, I bought a Turtle Beech USB "Sound Card" from buy.com about a year ago; it only cost about $25.00. One problem I've encountered with this "Sound Card" is that voice inflections in JAWS are not transmitted through the device. But that's a small price to pay for the luxury of having two sound devices on board your PC.
One other caveat that you may want to know about in advance, you need a set of earphones to use the Turtle Beech USB sound card. Or you could plug regular speakers into it as well I suppose. But that seems like a lot of clutter on your desk if you already have a set of speakers hanging off the native sound card. The nice thing about a secondary sound card is that you can instruct JAWS (if you use JAWS that is -- of course) to transmit through the secondary card so any applications deploying sound through the primary card can have an acceptable volume setting and there won't be the problem of all those sounds -- including JAWS -- overriding each other.
