Using A Third-Party Application
If you are using the Chat 150 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 next section.
Using The Chat Application
1.
If not already open, start the Chat application.
2.
Click the My Devices button and select the device you want to tune (select the Other or All option if your
device/application is not listed), then click the Apply to Chat button.
3.
For external hardware devices, connect the device to the Chat 150 using the connection diagrams starting
on page 15.
4.
Adjust the speaker and volume settings on the external device or in the application to 50% (half volume).
5.
Click the Advanced button to display the pre-defined audio settings for the device you selected in step 2.
Use the USB Audio section of the screen to tune applications; use the Line Audio section to tune external
hardware devices connected to the Chat 150 breakout box.
>
Note: In the Advanced screen, adjusting Microphone Level under USB Audio changes the Chat 150
microphone volume for USB applications, while adjusting the Output Level under Line Audio changes
the microphone volume being sent to the device connected to the Chat 150’s line audio jack.
Likewise, adjusting Speaker Level under USB Audio changes the Chat 150 speaker volume, while
adjusting the Input Level under Line Audio changes the speaker volume being received from the
connected device.
6.
Place a call using the device or application. Land lines provide the best audio for tuning purposes.
7.
Ask the person on the other end of the call to count from 1 to 10 in a normal voice. While the person is
counting, click and move the Input slider in the Chat application until the caller’s voice can be clearly
heard. Repeat as needed to find the optimal speaker volume for the device.
8.
While the caller is still connected, count from 1 to 10 in a normal voice. Ask the caller if they can hear you
clearly. Click and move the Output slider until the caller can hear you clearly. Repeat the test count as
needed to find the optimal microphone volume for the device.
9.
Click Save to Database to capture the optimized settings. The Add Settings to Database dialog appears.
Enter appropriate name in the Model field, then click the Save to Database button.
10. The optimal audio settings for the device or application are now ready for use. Repeat steps 1 through 9
for any additional devices and applications.
To switch between audio settings for different devices and applications, click the My Devices button, select the
desired device or application, then click the Apply to Chat button. The audio settings are instantly applied for
the chosen device or application.
