    • D
      Darryl HaleAug 27, 2025
      If the remote party hears distorted or robotic audio, background noise, or inconsistent volume levels, the volume slider in the Cisco IP Communicator interface might be set too high. Test the volume level of Cisco IP Communicator for each audio mode.

    What to do if my audio device does not show up in the Cisco IP Communicator audio mode drop-down menu?
    • K
      kathryn89Sep 14, 2025
      If your audio device does not appear in the audio mode drop-down menu: * If the device is a USB handset, USB headset, or sound card, ensure it is properly installed and re-launch Cisco IP Communicator. Devices installed after launching are not recognized until the next launch. * If the device is an analog device, it will not appear in the audio mode list because analog devices are extensions of your sound card. Choose your sound card instead.
