Victor your problem with jaws is a known issue and jaws. if you plug any sound device in after the install of jaws. it will default to that device for output. the trick there is if running xp set the sound card in the jaws.ini file. For what ever sound card you want. if running vista, just set it in the playback options as the default. With lenny it could be loose plug ends. on board sound cards this can happen very easy. Just by plugging and unplugging the cables or by moving the cables around. To reset on board sound chips. You will have to do some soldering, and think it would be easier to just get a PCI sound card. They are cheap now and will give you better sound even without using your ram to do its work.
