18.2 TRANSMITTING USING THE DEFAULT RECORDING DEVICE
To transmit using a microphone connected to the PC, select the PC option from the MIC input menu.
This automatically selects the Windows default recording device for your MIC input.
Transmit can be triggered using the MOX button on the transmit panel or using VOX, or any PTT
input.
18.3 CONFIGURING THE DEFAULT WINDOWS SOUND DEVICES
As noted above, PC Audio uses the Windows default Playback and Recording sound devices for the
remote audio and PC mic audio I/O selections. When plugging a headset into a sound card or USB
based audio device into a PC, Windows will automatically designate the newly inserted device as the
default sound device, and after a short time will activate it, making PC Audio a "plug-n-play" feature.
For example, your speakers will be deactivated while you have your USB headset plugged in.
However, there are cases when you may need to manually set the appropriate sound device as the
default. Please refer to the HelpDesk article How To Set The Windows Default Playback & Recording

icon in the system tray and select Open Sound settings as shown below:
