Is this supposed to be two-way? I purchased it and it only picks up sound but doesn't project back the other end of the conversation in Skype.

No. Just a microphone. Works well for me in that capacity. Not a speaker as far as I can see. Hope that helps.

This is for the opposite purpose-using an older-style headset, one with separate cords for the mic and headphones, with a newer device like a smartphone.I'm guessing you have a PC with an actual sound card, and separate mic and speaker plugs (usually red and green, respectively, I think). In that case you would need the exact opposite counterpart to this product: StarTech MUYHSFMM 3.5mm 4 Pin to 2x3 Pin 3.5mm Headset Splitter Adapter - F/M

This won't work in my experience. It gets recognized but no matter what 3.5" microphone you plug into it, it won't recognize the audio for chat... have anyone really test it? I did and that was my experience

Yes it's supposed to be mono. If you don't hear audio in both sides of your head phones then the cable other headset has issues. It would be helpful to know what you are sending the receiver audio to. Zoom h4n, dslr, a recording device?

There's an HDMI port on left side and the operating system is Windows 7 which should support your Skype application. The unit also has 4 USB ports, 1 fifteen-pin serial port, 1 ethernet input, 2 headphone jacks, 1 microphone jack, and Bluetooth audio & file transfer. Decent notebook.

I bought this phone about 9 months back and since the last couple of days, I am having the same problem. When I call over skype, the ring goes through, but when the other person picks the phone, there is no sound from either side.

We use this for skype conference call and it works great. You have to select it as your speaker and mic from your application to make sure it work as it should be just like the other user described.

I tried it out, and it routed the sound through my handset. I've been told you can use it for Skype, but I don't use Skype and can't test that. For basic phone calls, however, it appears to not work.

The splitter will help you share the audio.... Imagine having two X12 headsets and connecting both green inputs to this splitter to share audio.... it won't help with the mic feature. Hope this helps

Where you get Skype from? I get my from Amazon and it doesn't work. Poor sound and stripes on other side.

It connects via USB port - we have not tried to use two at the same time, but if they were on each side of the computer in opposite directions it may work. Not sure if there would be an echo between the two or not when someone speaking.

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.

Yes, just flip the mic over to the other side. I hope this was helpful. Lisa

It's VOIP as far as I can tell. I use mine with Skype without any problems. I don't know how online classes work, but maybe there's a way to modify the mic settings in the class' software. Or maybe it's just not compatible with whatever software the class uses.

I haven't tried to use the speaker as a speaker phone, so I'm not sure. You'd probably be able to hear your caller through the speaker, but that's about it. It doesn't have a microphone port (at least I haven't seen one), so I doubt you'll be able to have a two way conversation using the speaker. I'll have to check to make sure though, I'll update you if I find out more. Thanks for your question.

I purchased this item specifically gor the talking feature - On the upper left corner in the back (next to the speaker is a block with3 choices - the center choice seems to be "off" (if I'm seeing it correctly). Have a good day, GW

Just received - how do you work this? I've tried on 2 calls and both could barely hear me... I am not sure if I have it plugged in correctly. Advice? Thank you!
