Re: [JAWS-Users] Blue Tooth & Jaws
Dale Finally did get this working. There was an installation CD that went with this. I figured just plugging the USB device in and having it configure automatically and all was ok. With some sighted assistance it is up and running. Trying to figure out how to use and switch on and off without sighted assistance. Some of these programs make it tough.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Blue Tooth & Jaws
Are you sure that the new RS blue tooth device isn't conflicting with a blue tooth transmitter already on board your computer ? My laptop has built-in Blue Tooth. Just an idea.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Blue Tooth & Jaws
Dale Thanks. I never had difficulty with other USB external sound devices. I simply went to control panel and selected them as my sound choice. The problem here is this unit is not listed as an option for sound to go to. This was the only response to date to my post. It seems to me I remember someone or maybe a few folks on this list successfully using blue tooth sound devices on their computer. Hope to hear from them. I will also check with Radio Shack to day to see what's up thanks Al -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dale Leavens Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2008 9:59 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Blue Tooth & Jaws You will have to configure Jaws to use the USB sound device instead of the standard on-board sound device.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Blue Tooth & Jaws
You will have to configure Jaws to use the USB sound device instead of the standard on-board sound device. The USB device is not the same thing as plugging a wireless headphone transmitter into the external speaker or headphone socket of your computer sound card, it is it's own unique sound device.

[JAWS-Users] Blue Tooth & Jaws
I went to Radio Shack this weekend and asked if they had any blue tooth technology to allow me to hear my computer through a blue tooth ear piece. The salesman said yes and sold me two items. The first was some type transmitter that plugs into the USB port on the computer and transmits the signal. The second was an ear piece which supposedly works up to 300 feet from the transmitter. I successfully installed, paired, and configured everything. According to the salesman the audio was supposed to come through this device and be heard in the ear piece. I get no sound. I went to the control panel figuring I would need to select this as my sound choice (salesman said just turn down main speakers and you would hear it) but it is not an option. Anyone on here using blue tooth earpieces or headsets, speakers etc to hear their computer? I especially want JAWS to come through this thanks Al Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
