I try to make phone calls using windows dialer.exe,but it doesn't detect the microphone on my headset, so no one is able to hear my voice when I call.

you may have to re-install both the star and your mic. after you re-install, restart computer. but sometimes even if you know for certain that it is installed correctly, you will still have problems. sometimes I have to leave my laptop for a few minutes and then try to connect to internet. and I run windows 8

I essentially have the same question with this variation: Can I plug a mic into it to work with the ZOIPER voip program

Hello, Re calling out- that is done from your mobile phone or computer. I suppose if you had voice recognition on your cell/computer, you could call out but I think you'd still have to touch your phone. There is no keypad on this headset. Re incoming calls- push the silver button on side of headaet or use your phone to answer. Instructions so good I didn't need to use them. :)

Though the computer can see the headset as the mic, when I checked how loud the computer was receiving the voice input, it was only seeing it as a whisper, even though I was speaking very loudly.In short, you can set it up, but it will be useless.Sources: Quick test using a Win7 comp and Windows Recording Devices

Yes. You can receive calls. You can also make calls, but only manually, the headset is unable to activate your phone's voice dialing capability.

Yes. When I used this with my companies Avaya soft phone under Windows 7, pressing the button on the back of the earpiece would pick up the call and let me answer.

I tried this and it did not work. I plugged the headphones into the microphone jack on a desktop computer running Windows XP. I went to the control panel to test if the mic was working and it was not. It doesn't seem to work this way. But I have been using the headphones for quite some time now and they are excellent. Very good sound! And the mic works great during calls also.

Hi, omelet. I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 14.04. This headset works on Ubuntu just same great as on Windows.You even don't need to change any settings. Also i checked mic with Skype, works great. But if you have Ubuntu 10-13, you may need to fix mic (youtube / watch?v=tULmqpe5Yos)

I also have windows 7 and there was no issue. I plugged the microphone into the jack and that was it. Possible problem with your jack?

Do you have that telemetry selection in your menu's? Do you have voice on the controller? If not it is not supported.

Once you insert your headset cord into the Headset entry and the phone cord into the Line entry, press the ON button to hear the dial tone. If there is no dial tone and you cannot make a call, your phone line is the problem, not the LotFancy phone. Calltel makes very good products. My previous Calltel was broken around the ear port, I taped it together and it still worked just fine. Call your LotFancy phone number from you cell and see if it rings as well. The unit is ready for use when it arrives. Read you instructions to see all the neat features it has. Hope this helps.

with my phone I can hear the name through the phone, but not through the headset. It rings in the headset, but the message as to who is calling comes through the phone.

This headset does not work with windows so there are two things you can do: Possibility one: download additional proprietory software (forgot the name... search the skype forum... I tried it free for a few days and it worked... lousily) Possibility two (recommended): return this headset and get one that works with windows.

I called Swann and was told that I would have to add a microphone. I did enable the audio feature but did not hear anything. Will have to do some more research.

I could never get it to work with my Windows PC, so I returned the device for a refund. I found a better solution in a VOIP phone.

Consider using your headset, microphone, or even your smartphone w/wireless connection... http://www.nuance.com/for-individuals/by-product/dragon-for-pc/index.htm
