Hi Donna, Gary, Alex, et al: Y'all have been very kind and patient with me. Thanks ever so much! I don't have individual email addresses so I can't go off-line. Sorry to those who are disinterested. Here's the situation now that I have the iMic:
I have a Dell laptop, Windows XP, with a SigmaTel Audio soundcard. I am usually hooked up to a port replicator which also has its own sound card called C-Media Headphone Set. I have Jaws 9.0 as the screen reader and Goldwave as the sound recording program. To start with, I assume that I should disconnect from the port replicator and use my laptop with the SigmaTel Audio default card. So before shutting down, I should go into Control Panel, Sounds, Audio tab, and check the box at the bottom that says use only default devices. I then do a shut down. I attach the line outs from my tape deck into the iMic line in adaptor plug and plug that into the line in plug on the iMic. I flip the switch to line in on the side of the device. I then unplug the USB port replicator. I plug in the iMic USB plug and restart the laptop computer. Will I hear Jaws when it comes on? Do I plug in a set of headphones into the output jack on the iMic? If I don't get any sound, I will have to abort. The one thing that I will need to check is that my sound settings in control panel and Goldwave are on the iMic for the recording device and that the playback settings are on either the iMic for the headphones plugged into the iMic or without headphones on the SigmaTel card. But I can't do this without Jaws. In the old days when my old device was sometimes working, along with doing the checkbox in the control panel sounds audio settings, I would bring up the Jaws 9.0 ini file and insert the following at the last line before the synth2 line: Synth1Port=SigmaTel Audio I don't know if I should do this or not. Some have advised that I do this and some say it is not needed. I hope that you can help. It's been a struggle to get back to eliminating my vast tape and vinyl collection. This is all I am focused on besides my job. It has become a quest of sorts. I wish I had a sighted person along side that can help, but it ain't happening without much pleading. Besides this isn't rocket science, or is it? Smiles! Let me know what you think! You can contact me via any of the contact points below.
