using two sound cards
Hello friends, >From time to time I've seen messages from those of you who are using two sound cards, the on-board sound card for your speech, and the regular sound card, the one in to which your speakers are plugged for other sounds. My question is, how does one acomplish this. At present I do have an on-board sound card as a part of my mother board, but it is disabled, so I am using my Turtlebeach Santa Cruz card for both speech and other sounds. I'm thinking I might get better responsiveness out of my screen reader if I split the duties.

Using two sound cards
Can I use an external USB sound card on my laptop? If yes, can you recommend a few that do work and possibly require only the driver to be installed unless one of these USB cards software is useable please let me know. Thank you.

Re: using two sound cards
Hello josh, On Wednesday, January 25, 2006, 2:30:37 PM, you bellowed the following: > how does one acomplish this. Well, I have two computers with three sound cards each, going into my 16-channel desk for a bunch of routing options. Anyway, you accomplish this by redirecting programs to go across a non-default sound card. Most audio programs will do this, including winamp, goldwave, sound forge, windows media player, and any *real* (not to be confused with real player) audio applications. Real player has yet to do anything about this although winamp has been doing this since 1998, and even Windows Media Player allows you to change the output device now. If you're using jaws, there is a way to get HellOfQuence to go across a preferred audio device (if that's the synthesizer you're using.) Hal has this ability as well, but I'm not sure how Window-eyes handles it. -- Good Wednesday, -- Patrick Perdue (MCP, CNA) KE4DYI Greensboro, NC website: http://www.pdaudio.net home: +1(828)221-2971 Mobile phone and SMS: +1(336)509-5583 e-mail and .net messenger: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> skype: Borris For anything related to the yamaha motif line of keyboards and modules, subscribe to the motif-help mailing list by sending a blank message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.

Re: using two sound cards
I don't know if that assumption is correct, especially with a multi-channel sound card like the one you have. There are reasons why enabling a second soundcard for your screenreader makes sense, like if you were using your pc to record and you wanted to keep the speech out of the stream you are recording, but your screenreader won't run any better by enabling your onboard soundcard while running the turtlebeach.

Re: using two sound cards
Basically, Skype is a *free* internet telephony program, which will let you make *free* calls, through your computer, anywhere in the world, to any other user of the network, as well as calling cell phones or land lines outside the network, for a fee.

Re: using two sound cards
Josh and Matthew, If your using JAWS and Eloquence, there's an easier way to accomplish this, which does NOT require sighted assistance. In the JAWS program folder, find and open the jfw.ini file. Fine the section labeled [Synthesizers] In this section, you'll find the following lines, with the exception of the line I've marked with asterisks: Synth1Name=eloq Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS Synth1Driver=eloq ***Synth1Port=C-Media Wave Device*** Synth2Name=NoSpeech Synth2LongName=No Speech Synth2Driver=nospeech Synth3Name=SAPI 5X Synth3LongName=SAPI 5 Synth3Driver=sapi5x Insert the line I marked with asterisks, BUT where I have C-Media Wave Device, you must substitute the exact name of the sound card you want JAWS to use, as it appears in the Default Device drop-down, in Control Panel, Sound and Audio Devices, Audio page. (Be sure that the case and spacing in the name you substitute is exact, and be sure there are no spaces on either side of the equals sign.) This forces eloquence to use the named sound card, regardless of which card is selected as the default device. You can now select a different card as your default device, and JAWS will still use the named device. I don't remember the details of the original issue for which Josh wanted to know how to use two different sound cards. But hope this will help.

Re: using two sound cards
Hello, I don't know if changing this line will allow you to switch between them at will though. Upon reboot, Jaws uses onboard. If I unload and then load up Jaws again, it goes to the SB card. When I reboot, it goes to the onboard, so depending on where I want Jaws, I can control it this way. Thanks a lot. Matthew Tired of HotMail? Try Runbox. 1 gig of storage for a reasonable price.

Re: using two sound cards
Certainly can, and much easier than JFW. After you enable your onboard soundcard, go to the sounds settings in control pannel and make your turtlebeach the default soundcard. Then go into the window-eyes control pannel and choose the select synthesizer option. Choose the synthesizer you want. Say it is SAPI5. Hit the tab key and you'll be in a list of SAPI5 engines to choose from. Hit the tab again and you should end up in a list of sound cards to choose from. The list of sound cards will always show up provided you have more than 1 sound card enabled. At 08:49 PM 1/26/2006, you wrote: >I am using Window Eyes 5.5, and not JFW.

Re: using two sound cards
Thanks Tim for the information. Now my next question is, do I need sighted assistance to enable my on-board sound card? Also, will this formula you outlined work in Win-98SE?

Re: using two sound cards
Yes, you'll need assistance to enable your onboard sound card because you do that from the BIOS, and yes the steps will work on whichever platform window-eyes is running.

Who's using two sound cards?
Hi, I know there have been postings by listers who want to run two sound cards simultaneously. Until now I wasn't interested in following the Conversation. I have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz internal sound card; this past weekend, I bought a Creative MP3Plus USB external card. I can't figure out how to make them both play and/or record as I wish. I find it hard to believe that Windows XP (Home) won't allow two simple devices to operate independently and simultaneously. Am I wrong? I'd appreciate some enlightenment. Thanks. --- Dale E.

RE: Using two sound cards
Hi. I have a Startech USB sound card that I'm using with my laptop, and it works great. I had to reformat the PC, and the card worked using the drivers for Windows 7, nothing extra to install. The cost of the card was quite reasonable, something like $25. I don't know about other sound cards. Hope this is helpful.

Re[2]: using two sound cards
Hello Matthew, On Thursday, January 26, 2006, 2:47:12 PM, you bellowed the following: > need sighted assistance to get into the BIOS settings, which come up before > Windows loads. Have your assistant set your onboard sound card to the > primary sound card, while still keeping your preferred sound card enabled. If you don't have sited assistance around, just jump the bios battery, which will set everything to defaults anyway. Most motherboards have a jumper next to the bios battery. Failing that, just take the battery out and leave it out for a few minutes. -- Good Thursday, -- Patrick Perdue (MCP, CNA) KE4DYI Greensboro, NC website: http://www.pdaudio.net home: +1(828)221-2971 Mobile phone and SMS: +1(336)509-5583 e-mail and .net messenger: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> skype: Borris For anything related to the yamaha motif line of keyboards and modules, subscribe to the motif-help mailing list by sending a blank message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.

Re: Who's using two sound cards?
Hi, I am using two sound cards; jaws and computer sounds on the integrated card and entertainment stuff on the creative plug-in card. I got it to work twice now but I don't know what I did to make it work. Problem is, when I boot up, jaws talks through the wrong card. So I just restart jaws and all's well. I think my stumbling block was the eloquence driver. The instructions on the FS site said you must get a particular driver to make jaws switch cards. But that driver is smaller and two years older than the one that ships with jaws. So I ignored that instruction. When I finally tried that old driver, I think that's when it started working.

Re: Who's using two sound cards?
Hi Howard, Sometimes the file that FS makes available is not necessary. I am running 2 soundcards on a Win98SE machine, and I did not make any changes to Jaws. I can have Jaws use either of the cards, and can do the same with the rest of my audio. Of course, when I finish building my XP machine, it may be a whole different story.

RE: Who's using two sound cards?
HI, With the later versions of jaws, version 5x and above I believe, you don't need that special driver. It works out of the box as long as you put a "Synth#Port=SoundDeviceName" without the quotes, statement in the eloquence section of the Synthesiser driver Section of your jfw.ini file. E.G. "Synth1Port=SoundMAX Digital Audio" without the quotes. Your desired sound Device name can be located by going to Control Panel then Sounds and Audio Devices and then navigating to the audio property sheet and then look at the list of Sound devices for either the Sound default playback device or sound default recording device. Note, you don't have to change any of these settings in sound and audio devices you are just using it to locate your Sound Device Name so you can tell jaws what sound card it should use.

Re: Who's using two sound cards?
Dale! Just go into Control Panel / Sounds and Audio Devices, get onto the Audio tab and select your Santa Cruz from the Audio playback, Audio record and MIDI music playback lists. Now close JAWS and restart it. It should speak through the Santa Cruz. Now go into WinAmp or whatever other sound programs you use and select your USB device. You could do the opposite also. Choose the USB device in Sounds and Audio Devices and choose the Santa Cruz from within WinAmp etc. Chirp|Chirp|Chirp: It's the Bat, Chirping Bat .Com !

Using two sound cards in XP
HI everyone, Is it possible to use two sound cards with Windows XP Home? When I install my second soundcard, it works beautifully. But, the computers default sound is now disabled, and does not even show up in control panel or Volume Control dialogs. My second card is an older card. In fact, I bought it in 2001, maybe 2002, I believe, so might a newer card work better. Or, as I suspect, is this a computer bios issue? The reason I am wanting to use two sound cards is that I have to use software speech now, since my old doubletalk internal obviously can't be used with the new system. And I want to have JFW play through one card, and have the computer system sounds and other audio play through the other. It is a little difficult to record such things as streaming audio while JFW is chattering away. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and/or advice. ~Ann ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.

Re: Using two sound cards in XP
From the JFWlite list, february, 2004 From: "dennis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> here yuh go dood. Bulletin Type: FAQ Product Name: JAWS for Windows Version: 4.51 Category: Synthesizers Question: I have two sound cards on my computer. How do I make sure JAWS uses the one I want? Answer: Many JAWS users who also use music or audio production software want JAWS and Eloquence to speak through one sound card, while using the other for their production work. To do this, you need to edit a file called JFW.ini and install the updated Eloquence Speech driver in the accompanying zip file. Editing the jfw.ini file: 1. Using My Computer or Windows Explorer, browse your hard drive to the currently running version of JAWS and find the jfw.ini file in that folder. 2. Press ENTER to open. 3. You should find some lines that read: Synth1Name=eloq Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS Synth1Driver=eloq The number doesn't matter, it may be 1, 2, or 3, but it must be the same for all entries for Eloquence. 4. Add the following line after the driver line: Synth1Port=SB Live! Wave Device Of course, you need to make sure that the synth number matches the other lines, so that if the Driver line read: Sytn3Driver=eloq Then the port line would read: Synth3Port=SB Live! Wave Device The text after the = sign in the Port line comes from Control Panel/Sound & Multimedia/Audio tab It must be one of the entries that can be chosen for Preferred Playback device. 5. Save your changes and exit Notepad. Now you must install the updated driver.As long as JAWS is running and speaking through Eloquence, eloq.jls cannot be simply overwritten when unzipping the file. You will need to switch to NoSpeech or MS SAPI to get the eloq.jls to overwrite properly. 1. Download the file from ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/eloq.zip 2. Unzip the zip file into the root of the active JAWS directory where you made the change to the jfw.ini file. 3. Restart JAWS and it should now be speaking from the sound card you wanted. 4. If not, make sure the entries are correct in the jfw.ini file and that your sound card is indeed installed correctly. Most audio and music production software allows you to select a sound device for it as well, so it can use one sound card while JAWS uses another. ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.

Re: Using two sound cards in XP
Hi, Thanks for the bulletin. That isn't my main problem, though. My issue seems to be that, when the second soundcard is installed, it completely overrides the default to the point where the default doesn't even show up to be selected. So, it looks as if hte comptuer only has the one soundcard, and not two. ~Ann - Original Message - From: "Ann Byrne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: Using two sound cards in XP
Yes, and when the second card is installed,the default sound does not even show up in control panel audio devices at all. The only device that shows up is the supposed to be secondary card. When the second card is removed, the default sound re-appears in device manager, volume settings, etc. ~Ann - Original Message - From: "Jerry Richer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: Using two sound cards in XP
I have tried this method, and it works OK, but I switched back because of one major flaw. I use a turtle beach montigo as my card I want high quality sound to go through, and have a good pair of speakers hooked up. I would like to use the integrated device, called Digital MB, for jaws, and I have a cheaper pair of speakers hooked to that that I once used with the internal double talk on my previous system. When I edit the config and fire up jaws, I get such latency between key presses, probably 2-3 seconds worth, that I switched all back to the turtle beach for time being. How might I fix this weird problem so I can run it that way? When jaws is set up in this mode, and I switch winamp to also use the onboard, the first few seconds of the song go by before it starts to come through the speaker. I thought that was only a problem people using multi-track recording got that firewire interfaces help, but this system has no firewire. - Original Message - From: "Ann Byrne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
