you may need help but all you have to do is go to the sound card settings and change to the default sound device you want to use.

no sound drivers were lost. just the settings that tells windows which device to use.

If it works don't fix it

Yes, you can. Be advised, however, that while setting another sound card as my default, I have lost my sound drivers, as well as the registry entries associated with my built-in sound card several times, and have needed sighted help to restore both the registry entries and the drivers. So:

 

1. Back up the registry before changing the default sound card.

2. Keep copies of your sound drivers.

Subject: JAWS WITH AN EXTERNAL SOUND CARD #advisory

 

I am about to install JAWS on an Aser laptop with Windows 10 and I want to be able to run a media program like Winamp and not have JAWS speak through the same speakers.  Can I add an external USB sound card that I can plug speakers into for the music media and have JAWS speak through headphones plugged into the laptop's built in jack?  I currently have a Windows 7 desktop with a Sound Blaster card that I play music through while JAWS speaks through the mother board sound jack.
