I would agree with that. the sky is really the limit on USB sound cards and
price, but everyone says that using one is one of the best things you can do
for your sound. As for Jaws, since it's just speech, use the built-in card
for it, and the USB to hook the stereo to.

Subject: Re: Separating Speech Synthesizer from Music and Streams
My experience with USB sound cars has been limited but positive. I would
think you'd want to send your screen reader through the built in sound
chip and stream your music out of the USB sound card. My understanding
is that the built in sound chips are pretty low end, especially in
netbooks, and your USB sound card will almost certainly be a better
quality sound card.

Hi,
I have a Netbook that I'd like to use specifically for playing music and
perhaps streams through my stereo
system. Ideally, I would like to separate the speech I get from
Window-Eyes from what I hear through my
stereo. I know there are some pretty decent inexpensive USB sound cards
that would probably do the job.
Since I am looking at this for playback and not recording, I am not
concerned about inputs but I'd like to
have reasonable output quality. Therefore, I have two questions.
Does anyone have good or bad experiences with USB sound cards? Second,
does there seem to be an advantage
in allowing the music and streaming outputs to remain on the built-in
sound card and moving my screen
reader to the external one or is the reverse better? Window-Eyes does
let me select the sound card.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson
