If you... Then.... Notes
Just installed
Cisco IP Communicator
and need to use the
Audio Tuning Wizard for
the first time
Tune each audio device when the Audio
Tuning Wizard appears.
The Audio Tuning Wizard gives you
the opportunity to select audio devices
for audio modes or to use the default
Windows audio device.
Tuning a device is a different
task from changing the volume
setting for a call. Ideally, you
tune each device only once and
retune only if you encounter
voice quality issues.
For information, see How to
Assign Audio Modes, page 4-9
and Selecting an Audio Mode,
page 4-9.
See the Check Audio
Settings window on a
subsequent launch after
installing
Choose one of these buttons:
• Revert—to re-instate previous
settings for this audio device
• Tune—to retune this device
• Skip—to maintain modified
settings (for example, to keep the
sound card muted)
The Check Audio Settings
window appears on subsequent
launches if you modified (or
muted) the volume for a device
since you last tuned it. For
example, if you muted your
computer sound card or changed
the volume controls on a USB
headset or USB handset.
Want to change the
volume during a call
Click the Vol ume button on
Cisco IP Communicator. To save your
settings, click Save.
This is the best way to change
volume settings on a per-call
basis. See Adjusting the Volume
for a Call, page 4-2.
Want to retune an audio
device to address voice
quality issues
Access the Audio Tuning Wizard
(right-click > Audio Tuning Wizard).
See Voice Quality Issues,
page 8-4.
Want to change your audio
mode selections without
retuning audio devices
Right-click > Preferences> Audio tab. See How to Assign Audio
Modes, page 4-9.
