Josh and Matthew, If your using JAWS and Eloquence, there's an easier way to accomplish this, which does NOT require sighted assistance.
In the JAWS program folder, find and open the jfw.ini file. Fine the section labeled [Synthesizers] In this section, you'll find the following lines, with the exception of the line I've marked with asterisks: Synth1Name=eloq Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS Synth1Driver=eloq ***Synth1Port=C-Media Wave Device*** Synth2Name=NoSpeech Synth2LongName=No Speech Synth2Driver=nospeech Synth3Name=SAPI 5X Synth3LongName=SAPI 5 Synth3Driver=sapi5x Insert the line I marked with asterisks, BUT where I have C-Media Wave Device, you must substitute the exact name of the sound card you want JAWS to use, as it appears in the Default Device drop-down, in Control Panel, Sound and Audio Devices, Audio page. (Be sure that the case and spacing in the name you substitute is exact, and be sure there are no spaces on either side of the equals sign.) This forces eloquence to use the named sound card, regardless of which card is selected as the default device. You can now select a different card as your default device, and JAWS will still use the named device. I don't remember the details of the original issue for which Josh wanted to know how to use two different sound cards. But hope this will help.
