Many softphone applications (and other programs) provide settings similar to those shown above for Windows. These settings will typically default to tracking the Windows settings, but you may also be able to override Windows for individual programs and/or modify the Windows setting itself via the program settings. Please see your softphone documentation for complete details about these.

Note: Jabra is constantly evaluating the softphone market to see which new programs should be supported with a dedicated driver, such as currently exist for Skype, Microsoft and Cisco. Contact your Jabra representative or see the Jabra web site for the latest news on softphone driver development.
