Ok. With Jaws 10 and later, there is a sound card manager. Main Jaws
window, utilities, sound cards sub menu. It is normally set to the windows
default sound card but you can set it to the exact device you like. So, if
you have built in sound and a USB audio device, you can set jaws to the
internal sound card and use sound and audio devices to set the default sound
to the external card. This is with XP. Don't know about Vista and 7.
If you only want the music from your media player to go to the external
sound card, you would leave the internal sound card as your default and
change the output in your media player.
One thing about USB audio devices. They automatically become the default
audio device when plugged in. I forget if there is a way to stop that.
You know. After all that, you might be better off with a hardware external
speech synthesizer. Only one I know about is the Triple Talk but don't know
if is even available.

That depends on your version of Jaws. I'm assuming you use Jaws.
Let us know and someone will tell you how to set speech output.

You could use an external sound card instead and use the internal sound
for speech. It would cost less and may sound better. One possible
disadvantage is not having hardware speech. I can't suggest any sound
cards as I haven't had experience with USB or Firewire audio
interfaces.

Subject: what speech device to use on a laptop when playing music
question
Hi All,
I am considering buying a new laptop. I currently play music for
several
groups and dj when requested using win0-xp professional service pack 3
using Window-eyes 7.11 with a decktalk express on a desktop. I was
wanting to get a laptop for ease of transport. However, I need an
external speech device so the speech will not come through the
soundcard
where music is playing.
I'd like to ask the list for any recommendations for external speech
devices that will work through the usb port or a sound card with two
outputs so I can use one for speech and the other for music playing
out
of.
Thanks for any information in advance.
