Headset and Audio Settings
Configure your audio and headset settings with this tutorial
Overview
In the headset and audio settings you have some options to adjust your audio channels. Supported headsets can be set up with one click. Microphone and audio channels can be set separately. For example, you can have the ringtone played through your speakers while the microphone and call audio are played through your headset.
Supported and unsupported headsets
You have the choice when using your headset. Headsets supported by the pascom Client have the advantage that additional functions can be used (e.g. pickup and hang up on the headset). Not supported headsets also work, but without additional functions (e.g. Apple Ear Pods).
| Manufacturer | Description |
|---|---|
| Jabra | All Jabra headsets are supported |
| Poly / Plantronics | All Plantronics headsets are supported. You need to install an additional SDK or Software from the manufacturer. |
| Sennheiser | All Sennheiser headsets are supported. You need to install an additional SDK or Software from the manufacturer. |
Headset Setup
Connect your headset to your computer via USB or a Bluetooth dongle. The manufacturer Jabra usually does not require driver installation for its headsets. Plantronics and Sennheiser require software to be installed for some models. The pascom client then automatically detects a new headset.
The Windows Wave Mapper takes care of assigning the audio to your devices and of course does not know what your preferences are. Therefore you should make a configuration for each new headset.
Why is my headset automatically recognized?
This is due to the settings of the pascom client. Supported headsets are automatically recognized, but can also be ignored if you want to use the headset in another application.
