Using A Third-Party Application
If you are using the CHAT 170 with an application other than CHAT−such as Cisco Communicator or Skype−ClearOne
recommends using the tuning wizard or audio configuration controls in that application to adjust audio settings. If the
application does not have a tuning wizard or audio settings, use the CHAt application to tune audio settings for optimal
sound quality as explained in the previous section. Audio setup information can also be found for the CHAt Application
in the next few pages.
