How to Set up USB Headset and Hands-Free Phone

Question 1


I have a Cyber Acoustics USB AC-840 headset. Does anyone know how to test to see if it works? I plugged it into my router. I also have speakers plugged into my computer so I don't know if that overrides the "sound' settings.


If someone could please explain how to use the headset on a mac pro I would appreciate it.


Question 2

Also I need to get an inexpensive hands free phone to use at home. Does anyone know anything about how they work and where to get one.

Mac Pro Tower, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Connect the headset to a USB port on your Mac (not on the router.) It should appear in the Sound preference pane as an output device, and, if it has a microphone, as an input device. Select it and test.
