Hey, Dana, Larry, Talksina and anyone I've accidentally forgotten! Nope, I'm not having that JAWS problem, although I do think I know what you're talking about. I use my computer's soundcard for JAWS only, but I do remember when JAWS was coming through an external card one time that it had this odd echo effect. Anyway, I will continue to see what components might be the culprit, but I have very little attached to the sound card. I do use a (shoot, can't think of the name of this thing) a bass booster system (I know that's not the right name) with my speakers, and my theory is that this might be the offender. I don't know why, but that's my current guess. It is soooooo annoying! I don't think some motor or generator could be the cause unless something around the house has changed that I don't know about, which is, of course, entirely possible.

It was with an older Sb Live and you would here what I can only describe as a click, maybe a half second after Jaws stopped speaking. When I bought a newer and better card, it went away. When running Window-Eyes, I never heard it. I wish I'd known at the time that there was a patch for it. Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dana S.

I've never experienced that, with the SB Live. Under what conditions do you? Blessed Be, Dana that's Dana, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A If your synthesizer pronounces them identically, instruct your customized pronunciation dictionary that Dana=dayna. D. S. Leslie, née C. R.
