Using A Third-Party Application
If you are using the CHAT 160 with an application other than CHAT−such as 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 previous section. Audio setup information can also be found for the CHAT Application in the next few pages.
