Hi Al, I have bypassed the Real Tech onboard soundcard with a USB soundcard & everything is working fine. I tried different speakers & soundcards & I could get the RealTech card to work intermittedently but, it won't stay working. I tried running Jaws through the USB soundcard & the system sounds through the RealTech card & the RealTech would quit working. I then swapped the system sounds to run through the USB soundcard & Jaws through the RealTech card & everything would work for about 5 seconds then the RealTech card would quit working. I only have 3 ports for my RealTech card & the middle port is the correct port to use for sound if, it freakin worked! I'm not sure if it's the jack or the RealTech card but, since they're 1 unit it's getting replaced. Well, I'm just glad I had an extra USB soundcard & a USB headset to get me through all this experimentation & testing. Even tech support at Systemax think it's a soundcard issue after I explained everything I tried to them. Thank you for your input. We wish you & yours the Merriest of Christmas' and the Happiest of New Years. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

On mine there are 6 jacks on the back and two in front panel. I mistakenly plugged my speakers into the wrong one on the back and had a hell of a time getting sound back. I ended up having to call their tech support. According to my wife some box pops up on the screen showing it is not connected correctly but even when we did we could not get sound back. I was able to plug a USB sound device and get sound until we got the problem figured out. Actually I continue to use the USB card on mine as I think it sounds better Al -----Original Message----- From: Blind-Computing [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike B.

I plugged a different set of speakers directly into my main computers onboard soundcard, bypassing the audio part of the KVM switch &, I get no sound from either operating system. Does this sound like a bad soundcard, or should I try checking something else? I just don't know what else to check! Take care.

Well, I don't have any sound with either operating system! The Windows7 won't even play systems sounds through the USB headset but, the XP system does. Is it possible the onboard soundcard died? Thanks much, take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike B.

I tried, with my wife's sighted help, to see if anything was muted in the control panel / Sounds & Audio Devices but, everything looked normal to me. I went to my other computer via my KVM switch & the speakers work with that computer. I can't get any sounds to play from my main computer at all! I am currently using my main computer with a USB headset. Any advice or suggestions on what to check would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much. Take care.
