Change the Sound Card specifically for JAWS. To gain focus on JAWS use the Insert+J keystroke. Now arrow to Utilities submenu... And arrow down to Sound Card submenu... And change the selected sound card to be used for JAWS. I am sure that it is still left to the default card (which is what Windows makes the USB mic whenever it's installed)

I'm doing the troubleshooting remotely and the next time we talk I'll ask him for more details about the mic. Thanks for the idea.
