However, this switching hotkey is not available on non-PC platform such
as MacOS.

speaker/headphone and microphone each to its port on
your KVM Switch.

.
Connect each KVM PC port to a computer, using the
slim 3-in-1 KVM combo cable and the audio/mic cable.
After you have connected the KVM and computers
properly, you can operate the KVM Switch immediately.
Some older computers with USB interface might need to manually
enable the USB option in the BIOS settings before you can use any
USB devices. If your USB interface does not work, please check
the USB option in the BIOS.
If you use Windows 95/98/SE or Mac OS and has not yet installed
a USB mouse on your computer, there might be an error message
telling you that mouse is not detected and prompting you to decide
whether to ignore the same message in the future, and yet you will
find there is no mouse movement to disable this message….So it is
suggested that you should installed your USB mouse on your
computer first, before connecting it to this KVM Switch.
