Understanding Audio Modes
Each audio device that you plan to use with Cisco IP Communicator must be assigned to an audio
mode:
• Handset mode
• Headset mode
• Speakerphone mode
The ringer, which alerts you to an incoming call, must have a device assigned to it, as well.

Optimize for low
bandwidth
check box
If you are using Cisco IP Communicator over
a remote connection (for example, on a VPN
connection from home or a hotel), voice
quality might suffer from insufficient
bandwidth. Enabling the “Optimize for low
bandwidth” feature when you are using
Cisco IP Communicator over a remote
connection can prevent robotic-sounding
audio and other problems.
To enable this feature, right-click on the
Cisco IP Communicator interface and choose
Preferences > Audio.
You might choose to apply audio filters to
enhance voice quality when using low
bandwidth.
