[NFB-Talk] Computer Microphone

Mark,

Also, sometimes a USB microphone becomes your default sound device and you could lose speech.  You can avoid this if you go to JAWS, go to the Utilities menu and select the Sound Card item.  In that item, pick the specific sound card on your computer rather than the "Default" sound card.  If you do that, JAWS will continue to use the sound card in your computer rather than being transferred to your USB sound card which likely won't play any audio. The list of sound cards are of the type that you press ENTER on the one you want and the menu closes, but if you go back in it will be checked. 

I hope that saves you some time.  These kinds of things can vary, but I had to do the above on two computers when using a USB microphone.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Mark,

With the microphone connected go into Zoom and to audio settings. You can 
select the microphone from a list. In my experience, using JAWS, once in the 
audio settings and going to the Microphone selection box I arrow to the 
microphone then I move the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor to select it. You 
then also can test your audio settings within Audio settings.

If you have problems feel free to give me a call, (415) 827-4084.


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson

Hello everyone.  I just received my computer microphone from Amazon today. 
It is a desktop microphone.  I have it connected into one of my USB ports 
and I’d like to use it for Zoom meetings and maybe to talk on Skype. 
However, I’m not sure how to set it up so that I can actually be heard.  Any 
assistance here would be much appreciated.  Thank you in advance.
