Hello chris,

It's under sounds in the control panel of your computer. I hope
this is helpful to you. Take care and, I will talk to you soon.

Hi Amy,

I too can hear JAWS when I'm in a Skype call, but I can't hear it

by itself, when I'm not in a call.  Someone else told me to 
change the sound card setting in JAWS to the USB headset in the 
JAWS utilities menu, so I'll try that first and see if it works.

What settings in the control panel could I change to get this to 
work? Thanks!

Chris

Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year!

Hello chris,

That's awesome that you got a usb headset for Christmas to use it
for skype calls and using other things.

I have a usb microphone headset and as a matter effect it's my 4
the one that I have used since I got on skype in the spring of
2008 thanks to my best friend.

Anyway, yes, you can hear both the skype calls and the screen
reader either if you are using jfw or nvda.  Because I can hear 
it
all together when I use skype with my microphone/headset with jfw
and skype.  Did you try to change the settings in the audio
settings section of skype? Or fix the audio/sounds settings in
your computer under control panel?

Those would be the ideas/suggestions that I would prefer.  If you
are still having problems with the mike then ask where you got it
from but, since you got it as a gift from someone ask where they
got it and, if so then return it for a new one if that's the
case.

Those are my thoughts on this.  Take care and happy new year to
you!




Hugs,
amy

Hi everyone,

I got a USB headset for Christmas, and it is working great for my
Skype calls.  My only problem is that I can't hear my screen
reader
(I've tried both JAWS and NVDA) when I'm not in a Skype call, but
I
can hear Skype calls through the headset.  Any suggestions as to
how to
fix this? Thanks!

Chris
