•

•

TROUBLESHOOTING POOR SOUND QUALITy

If you experience poor sound quality, check the following list for solutions to common issues.

Ensure the CHAT 60-U is connected to your computer, start the CHAT application, then verify, test, and 

• 

adjust the audio settings as needed to obtain good sound quality. Or select an appropriate ClearOne 
pre-programmed device and click 

Apply

 to apply the settings to the CHAT 60-U  If the issue remains 

unresolved, the 3rd Party device or application may be responsible for the poor sound quality. Refer to the 
device or application documentation, or contact the manufacturer’s technical support for assistance.
verify that all cables are properly and securely connected. Refer to the appropriate connection diagrams in 

• 

Chapter 2: Getting Started

 of this manual for more information.

If your CHAT 60-U is connected to a USb hub, the USb hub must be connected to an external power source.

• 

If you have another USb device (such as a digital camera) connected to your computer on the same USb bus 

• 

as your CHAT 60-U, windows may generate the error message “USb Controller bandwidth Exceeded.” In this 
case, you must move the other USb device to a separate USb bus. The CHAT 60-U is a high-performance 
USb device that requires sufficient bandwidth to function properly.
Some USb cameras that use audio drivers are automatically assigned by windows as the default audio 

• 

playback device (even though the camera doesn’t have a speaker). In this case,disconnect all USb devices 
(including your CHAT 60-U), reconnect the CHAT 60-U to the USb bus first, then reconnect the other 
USb devices. This allows windows to properly select the CHAT 60-U as the default audio playback device.
