moderated headset/mic combo with Jaws

Hello group:

I would like to use a Logitech headset/mic for one particular application, and hear Jaws through my pc's speakers for everything else. Can this be done, and if yes, how do I do it?

Best regards,

you need two audio devices to accomplish this.
does the headset connect via USB or does it plug into 1/8" audio ports?
if by USB, you can have JAWS speak thru the default device in Windows,
which is usually the speakers, and use the headset for something else.
if the headset plugs into 1/8" audio ports, what you want to do isn't
possible.

What application are you talking about and do you
use Windows 10 or are still on Windows 7.
In Windows 10 you can select sound devices by application in Settings > System > Sounds, tab to "Advanced sound options, App volume and device preferences", activate the link and then tab until you hear "Input list box, system sounds". Here you can arrow down and you should be able to find your application.
Of course in quite a few applications such as Skype you can simply select which sound device you want to use in the app.

Regards,
Sieghard

the USB headset is considered to be a sound device, and once it is
connected to the computer, JAWS will probably switch to speaking thru
it. to go back to have JAWS speaking thru the speakers:

insert+j to gain focus to the JAWS window.
go to the utilities menu and then the sound card sub menu. once open,
enter on the appropriate soundcard designated as the Windows default
sound device.
