2. Select the sound card or USB speaker as the sound playback device.
Q4. After I connect the USB phone, I cannot play music from my USB speaker. I
un-plug the USB phone and the problem persists.
A4. When the USB phone is connected for the first time, Windows will reset its
audio settings to use the USB phone as the over all audio in/out device. In
this situation, you can manually specify a preferred music playback device,
e.g., your sound card or USB speaker while at the same time still use the
USB phone as audio in/out device in Skype.
To specify a sound playback device in Windows, go to Control Panel >
Sounds and Audio Devices (or Sounds and Multimedia) > Audio and select
a desired device in the Sound playback section.
Other Problems
Q5. In Skype window, I’ve changed the sound alert to use a preferred wav file
for an incoming call. But when USB phone is ringing on an incoming a call,
it still uses the phone’s ring tone.
A5. Note that the ring tone is controlled on the device side while sound alerts
on Skype side. When receiving a call, both ring tone and sound alert could
be heard. The ring tone is heard from the buzzer (on the USB phone’s
back) and is much louder. Your customized sound alert is heard from the
phone’s receiver.
Q6. I cannot use the USB phone with Skype in Windows 98/ME.
A6. Skype doesn’t support Windows 98/ME. To use the USB phone with Skype
under Windows, you should be under Windows 2000/XP. For the
information on compatible operating system and system requirements,
please visit the Skype website.
