Re: [Blind-Computing] Adding a second sound card
Several years ago, I purchased a Turtle Beach USB sound device (to call it a card hardly seems appropriate -- it looks much like a flash memory stick) and have no regrets. It does have some limitations such as not producing a broad range of volume and tone differentiation such as one might configure for upper case voicing and spelling mode differentiation, but if your intention is to use this secondary sound card for your JAWS output it is quite adequate and not very expensive. This will give you the ability to control the normal sound differently from your JAWS speech output and I do believe you will be quite satisfied. Also, this was something I was experimenting with when my beloved died; my intention was to deploy the Turtle Beach USB Sound device for JAWS with a set of earphones and install Naturally Speaking as a voice recognition using the native sound card to handle that application. My thought was that the two separate sound devices would, as a result of being deployed for the two differing purposes, allow JAWS and Naturally Speaking to play nice with each other. I realize this last thought is somewhat off the topic of this thread, but I thought it may be a useful thought to throw out there since I never pursued any further after Carol's death.

Holland Bill - `There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say,' returned the nephew. `Christmas among the rest.
