never used it but from the problems your having I would send it back. first off a 6 hour battery charge time for a headset is just unacceptable. I have a headset that takes a 2 hour charge provides 8 hours of talk time. second a device that is not seen as a standard usb sound card is just unacceptable. you should be able to plug it in and it should just work. no linking etc should be needed.
so the long and the short I wouldn't buy this thing from what you describe.

Subject: [Skypeenglish] question regarding skype wireless headset

Hi everyone,
I am not sure this is exactly on topic so please, could anyone email me off list to answer the following question to avoid cluttering the list with unnecessary posts.

I would like to know if anyone on the list has bought the latest wireless Freetalk 5192 headset from the skype shop? I understand this should work once it has been charged for about 6 hours, once the USB dongle and the headset are linked. However, it does not work for me. I've tried it both on my PC and on my mac. I have also asked some of my co-workers to try it on their computers just in case and it did not work either. On the windows machine, I get a message saying that the USB deviced is not recognized and it appears as an unknown device in the device manager. As most people on the list more than likely use Windows, I am not going to discuss how this thing acts on my mac computer. So, if anybody could suggest what to do in this case to fix the problem, I would be very grateful. I was unable to find updated drivers for the device online either. I am seriously considering sending it back and either ask for a replacement or a refund. A friend recommanded me this headset so I decided to go for it. It works for him but not sure why it does not for me.

Please answer off list to avoid cluttering the list just in case this is off topic.

Thanks for your time,

Lyn & Twinny
