Hi Guys, Now that JFW will be supporting 64 bit O/s I will eventually be mygrating. I took a look at the MAudio site where support for Vista is not listed. for the Delta 44 or 1010 sound cards. Perhaps they have not updateing there web page so if you can confirm that these cards will work on Vista 64 bit systems that would be mucho appreciated.

Might I suggest that you look at a Creative Soundblaster Digital Music LX which is a small USB external sound card which produces quite good audio and would be more than adequate as the sound card for JAWS. The good thing about it is that it is quite inexpensive (less than $40). For your main sound card, the Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro with either the external I/O hub or the internal hub installed in a disk bay, is probably adequate. However, note that with both the Audigy and the X-FI, the noise floor of the sound chip becomes apparent quickly when the volume is turned up. If you are contemplating doing serious recording then I would suggest that you look at one of the M-audio Delta cards. The best of these would be the Delta 44 or the Delta 1010. I use the Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro and Digital Music LX in my computer and have no problem with driver conflict. In fact, XP Pro recognised the LX and I did not even have to install the software from the supplied CD. To use it with JAWS, the trick is to set the Audigy as the default sound device and then, after installing the Creative LX, insert into your JFW.INI file, the following lines, if they are not already there- Synth1Name=eloq Synth1LongName=Eloquence Software Synth1Port=USB Audio Synth1Driver=eloq The Synth1Port=USB Audio will be the Creative LX if you have installed it using the factory default settings. There will be no driver conflict but, remember that whenever you upgrade JAWS to the next version, you will need to copy the SYNTH1PORT line into the new version's JFW.INI file. This is probably more information than you wanted but I hope it helps, Bob Nelson From: "Keith Gillard" <kgill...@shaw.ca> To: "PC audio discussion list.

I'm really tired of Asus so called high quality on-board sound. So, I am wondering if one could run Two Creative Labs cards on one box? Would there be driver conficts for example. I am interested in these two options: Sound Blaster Oddegy Platinum. *I hear it is a decent card and runs JAWS properly 2) Sound Blaster X-FI Platinum. *I want to use this for all other PC audio needs, including voice functions. I'd really like to know what you think of these two cards. I don't know if I can run them together? Any other suggestions would be welcome of course. If it matters, I am running XP Pro with SP II P5E3 Deluxe MoBo E8400 processor Cheers and thanks...KG & G-Dog Cheers!
