Setting Up Amigo for use with Skype
™
or Other Internet Phone Software
When Amigo is connected to the USB port, it usually will set itself as the "default sound
device", which means that it should work automatically with Skype's internet phone software
or other similar software. If Skype does not automatically use Amigo after it has been
installed, then this can be set manually within the Skype software as follows:
1. Launch the Skype software, then click on "Tools" and select "Options". The Options
dialog window will open.
2. In the Options dialog window, click on "Sound Devices" (shown below).
3. In the three drop-down menus available for Sound Devices ("Audio In", "Audio Out",
and "Ringing"), select "Audio Advantage Amigo Device" as the sound device you
wish to use for Skype (shown below).
4. Click the 'Save' button to set the changes for Skype and close the Options window.
Note on Skype’s "Ringing" Options
If you do not have speakers connected to Amigo and are using only headphones, then it is
possible that you may not hear the Skype ring when you are not wearing headphones. For
this type of setting, it may be preferable to set Skype’s "Ringing" option to use your system's
existing sound card, which is likely to be connected to powered speakers, so that you can
easily hear the ring at any time.
