There are all kinds of low cost USB sound cards and low priced computer speakers you can connect to them.

May I make a suggestion for something even easier? I have a Logitech s-150 digital stereo speaker. It is powered from the USB port and also shows up as a sound device. It costs about $25. It's available on Amazon. The quality for music is not good so I use it just for screen readers like Jaws. I have another sound card for music. Luckily, the one on my motherboard sounds good enough for music playback through powered studio monitors on my desk. I set the onboard sound as default. Then I set the Logitech s-150 as output for each screen reader. This works welt most of the time but occasionally screen readers or Windows gets confused and sends the voice to the main card. I have a couple of tricks to fix that. One is disconnect then reconnect the USB speaker. The other is to restart the screen reader. Hope this helps. Bob

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.
