Hello Sameer,
Thank you so much. I’m up and running now. My test recordings sound much
better with this device. I’m still having trouble with the meters. No matter
what I do the recording meter says 0DB clipped. I’m missing something. I have
the recording slider down to 10. With a device of this nature what would be a
reasonable range for the slider. Thanks again.
Steve

Hi Steve
Fortunately your issue appears to be rather simple to fix.
*. Go to the utilities menu in Jaws then select sound cards.
*. From the Sound cards menu select the soundcard that you use normally (note
please don’t choose the windows default sound card). From the 3 options that
are displayed on your system, it would appear that the middle 1 (speakers /
headphones high definition codec)is the 1 you need.
to choose.
That’s all. Your system should be up and running.
Hope this helps.
Please let me know what happens.
Regards
Sameer

HiGene,
There must be another setting we’re missing here. In the Sound Card sub menu
of Jaws Utilities I have three options:
1. Windows default sound card- this one is checked
2. Speaker/Headphone ( dt High Definition audio codec )
3. Communication Headphones ( DT High Definition Audio codec
When I plug in the device I get a fourth option:
4. Speakers ( USB Audio codec )
When the device is plugged in and the speech is gone the Windows Default Sound
Card is still checked.
In JAWS 18 Help there is no Sound Card Topic. This must be a common issue with
these devices with a simple solution but darned if I can find it. Thanks for
your’s and anyone elses help I can get.

Here is a link to the information.

Once on the page, use the virtual find command to search for the word sound and
you will be right at the start of the section.

Thanks Gene, I’ll start looking into it. If anyone has this info on the top of
their head I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

All such devices and equipment that connects for recording sound is seen as a
sound card by Windows. It becomes the default sound card. You need to set
JAWS to only use the Internal soundcard, or whatever sound card you use, no
matter what Windows classifies as the default sound card. As long as the
device is connected, Windows uses it as though it were a sound card and makes
it the default sound card. Someone will very likely tell you how to tell JAWS
to only use one sound card. If they don't, I'll look up the information. But
there are likely people who already have it handy.

Hello,
I recently purchased the Behringer u-phono 202 USB audio interface for
recording records and tapes to my Windows 7 laptop. When I plug in the device
my screen reader which is Jaws 18 is silenced leaving me helpless. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
Steve
