actually what I have found is that most of the time the usb card is not
responsive enough to handle short burst streams. this can make your speech
rather sluggish. music on the other hand is a long constant stream that does
not start or stop suddenly. so I personally keep my speech on my internal card
and let the music go to my sound blaster live 24 usb.

come to think of it I wholeheartedly agree since music is a pretty intensive
application and you want the dedicated sound card for that purpose or ham radio
digital modes or whatever.

hi, you would do better to use window-eyes with an internal card and music
etc with the external.
set the usb sound card as the default then you tell the synthesizer what card
you want to use. one thing if window-eyes plays a sound like a progress
indicator the sound will be played threw the default card. hint to gw micro
that you might want to add a feature that will allow you to control window-eyes
sounds. and no I don't want the feature to work like jaws that forces the
sounds and the synthesizer to be the same. I want a choice.

iTunes and is there a way to just here window-eyes on the USB sound card? I
mean is there a way to not let iTunes use the USB soundcard so all I hear is
window-eyes coming out of there and iTunes out of my main soundcard?

Yes and yes, which application do you play the music out of?

Hi!
I have more weird questions. I just found a USB sound card online and I
would like to perches it. My intent is to get window-eyes to run through this
sound card instead of the main one in my computer. I would like to do this
because I play music at parties and when I am searching for a song while the
previous one is playing I have to turn it down to hear window-eyes and it does
not sound good when window-eyes is talking during the song. Now my questions
are can you specify what sound card window-eyes runs out of, and would it
support a USB sound card?
