Interesting dave. I am using winamp and I never thought of changing the output. That way I could get rid of sound switch but you are exactly right jaws goes along for the ride. I am off to play with it. Thanks very much

My guess is that this program you are using actually changes your default sound card on the fly and JAWS just seems to go along for the ride for reasons it only knows. Now for example if you are using win amp and I believe media player has the same feature available you can change the sound card it uses itself. I'm thinking if you were to do that then JAWS would stay right where it is supposed to be without a care in the world so to speak. This is a work around but I am certain it will do what you want. Just start your player of choice, change your output and with win amp at least not sure about media player since it has been so long you might have to close out and then open the program again for it to play using the alternative card.

It is not really a sound card as we know it but sends the music to the stereo. So it is considered a sound card. The reason for the sound switch program is so that I don't have to go to control panel, sounds, and switch to the audio engine when I want to go down stairs and listen to the stereo. And when I am up at the computer I want sound to come out of the audio connexant in case I go to an internet site that has a youtube site and need to listen to it. I hope this sorts out any confusion. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-Computing [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Ferrin Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2013 16:26 To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] jaws and sound cards I'm a bit confused, you have 2 cards and they both have a predefined purpose in life if I understand correctly. Why do you have a program that switches them and does this program change your system default sound card?

One for my music and one main sound card that is in the computer for jaws. The music card is a USB audio Engine and the main card is a audio connnexant. In the jaws sound cards sub menu of jaws, I have audio connexant checked for the jaws sound card. Now I have this little program called sound switch. It allows me to press the f11 key to switch between sound cards. Thing is when I switch to the audio engine jaws quits coming out of the computer and goes to the audio engine. It says in the jaws help that jaws should stay with the sound card that is checked. How can I get this to work right.
