Can you reply with the make and model (and links if possible) for 1) the USB sound card, 2) the "headset buddy" and 3) the mixer board you use?

Subject: RE: Dual headset usage with JAWS This may be more complex than you were looking for, but I love it -- and it isn't outrageously expensive. Here is my set-up. First, I plug a USB sound card into my computer. I can use it with different laptops, and all is good. The sound degradation is minimal. Next, I plug a phone feed into the headset jack in the desk phone (Headset Buddy has all sorts of plugs and switches). I use an ordinary headset, though it has one line for audio out and the other for the microphone. I'm using a set of Beats, but that's not necessary. I just want to look cool! <SMILE> Between thee sound card and the phone, on one side, and the headset, on the other, I've inserted a mixer board. I think it cost me about $60. It has all manual switches and controls. So, by turning the proper dials and switches, I can vary the volume, gain, base, and other sound attributes. I can also direct sound output to the speakers on the desktop or my headset. I can switch ears and can balance how much sound goes to which ear, e.g. 80% of phone in left ear (where the microphone is) and 15% to the right ear. The computer sound can likewise be switched from and balanced between right ear and left ear. Volume of the computer and the phone can be set independently -- all through the mixer board. It is a little complex to set up, but it works like a dream. This set-up also lets the flexibility of the controls be independent of the headset. I break headsets frequently. This set up also lets me switch effortlessly (so long as I remember) between my desk phone and the soft phone (Jabber) in my computer. Actually, the above set-up falls a little short of the ideal. I was hoping to integrate my iPhone so that I could employ all the above flexibility among my desk phone, my iPhone, and my desk phone -- all at once. OK. I'm a little crazy. PS I forgot to mention that the microphone doubles as a microphone for the phones and Dragon Naturally Speaking. No wires to change. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Nickel via Jfw Sent: Monday, December 22, 2014 10:20 AM To: 'Mario Brusco'; 'The Jaws for Windows support list.'; 'Michael Mote' Subject: RE: Dual headset usage with JAWS I've been contemplating untethering myself also from the processor. I don't use the screen at all so my thinking is why be tethered to the processor. Has anyone had experience with untethering both the keyboard and the audio? -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mario Brusco via Jfw Sent: Monday, December 22, 2014 7:40 AM To: Michael Mote; The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: Dual headset usage with JAWS has anyone used a dual headset where one ear gets JAWS speaking, and the other gets the caller's voice? I'd like any recommendations as I'm looking for one that's not too expensive ($30+) but want most of all good sound. _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com
