Ken,
Dollars to Doughnuts, the 75 millisecond delay you mentioned is a latency setting problem and can be easily fixed. In Sonar, from the main menu, select Options, then Audio options. In the General page, tab through til you hear a slider called buffer size. Decrease its setting and that'll speed up the response of your midi device. I have mine set to ten% and it works fine. If settings are much lower than that, you can run into problems with "drop outs", and larger settings begin to increase the latency to noticeable extents.
All this stuff is well documented in the CakeTalking tutorial in lesson fifty something called Audio problems or something similar. You should read through these tutorials.
As to the problem with jaws speaking through the audiophile, there is a file in the jaws directory which can be editted to fix this problem. It is called JFW.ini and in there there is a place where you tell jaws to use a specific output device. I have the exact directions around here somewhere, and I'll look them up and post them to the board.

Thank you for the suggestions. I went online and downloaded the new drivers for the device. I then followed the instructions from the FAQ regarding running two soundcards. I found that when I rebooted Jaws was still speaking through the Audiophile. Remembering that the FAQ mentioned closing and restarting JFW I did so but then could get know sound until I rebooted. Once Windows came back up, Jaws once again spoke through the Audiophile. I can now get Midi to play through the Audiophile, though it has about a 75 Milisecond delay. Could this delay be due to still having Jaws through the Audiophile? Also, I am having problems getting input from the device. 

Thanks again,
Ken

Hi, Ken,

Read the entry in our CakeTalking FAQ with the heading:
. Q: Is it possible to run JFW through my soundcard on my computer while
running my music through my external sound card?

You will find it at http://www.dancingdots.com/ctfaq.htm

Regards,
Bill

     I just started using the Audiophile USB from MAudio, and so far it
hasn't been very cooperative. When I first open Sonar it says that there is 

an issue with the drivers being either incompatible or in use by another
program. I chose to use the driver anyway and everything seems to work fine
for playing audio, but when it comes to midi the Audiophile USB is remaining 

silent.  I have added it to the (Midi Devices) and have chosen to use the
Audiophile as my output on the track.  Any suggestions as to what might be
amiss?

Thanks,
Ken
