9 Troubleshooting and Common Questions

My headset is unstable.

My headset doesn’t work with Microsoft Lync/Office Communicator.

I hear Microsoft Lync/Office Communicator audio through my PC speakers and only want to hear it through my headset.

Speaking and/or listening volume is too low or too high.

When you wear the headset, the microphone should rest as close to your cheek as possible without touching. The microphone can be adjusted inward by the pivoting earpiece to optimise the position of the headset. See Wearing the Headset.

Ensure your headset is charged.

Ensure your headset is subscribed to the USB adapter.

If you press the call control button on your headset, you should hear a Microsoft Lync/Office Communicator dial tone. If not, you need to ensure the headset is the default device by going to Microsoft Lync/Office Communicator > Tools > Set Up Audio and Video > Handset or Headset and choosing your headset as the default.

Disconnect and re-connect the USB adapter. It will be solid red until it subscribes to the headset; it will be solid green when successfully subscribed to the headset.

Restart your computer.

Ensure that the headset is the default speaker/speakerphone device. Go to Microsoft Lync/Office Communicator > Tools > Set Up Audio and Video > Speaker/Microphone or Speakerphone and select your headset as the default device.

Adjust headset listening volume with volume button.

Adjust listening/speaking volumes in the computer’s sound control panel/system preferences. Adjust listening/speaking volumes in the softphone application.

The sound is distorted or I hear an echo in the headset.
