[Promotion-technology] USB TO AUDIO ADAPTER

[Brian Buhrow]

	Hello.  they're $10.00 US or so, plus shipping.  


	One thing worth mentioning, since a couple of you
have now ordered them.  If you plug them into  Windows boxes, I believe, by
default, they'll become the prefered audio device immediately.  What this
means is that if you're running Jaws or Window-Eyes, the sound produced by
those programs will revert to the new audio device immediately.  You can
back this out by unplugging the device from the usb port, or you can take a
pair of headphones and immediately plug them into the new device to keep
working.  Once situated, you can then get Jaws or Window-Eyes to prefer one
sound device over the other and begin separating your speech from your
music.  I'm not enough of a Windows expert to tell you how to do this
precisely, but if you search on the jfw at freelists.org archive, there are
some simple easy-to-understand instructions for instructing Jaws on how to
use the desired audio device.  Look for messages about using Jaws with an
external Skipe phone.
I'm sure Window-Eyes can be told to do this as well, I'm just not sure 
where to tell you to look for such instructions.
