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.
