Hi all,
I'm trying out my new Keyspan Cordless VOIP phone as a skype handset,
off the rack from DigiLife.
Two questions I am seeking clarification on.
Firstly, I'd like to set things up so that I can have some groovy
music playing via speakers and:
- when a skype call comes in the sound switches to the handset (in &
out)
- when I initiate a skype call, audio switches to handset
Skype already has a setting to suppress iTunes when a call
activates. That is good, but as it stands, I have to go to the Sound
Preferences to switch between USB Headset (for the handset) and the
internal speakers. Clunky. There is an FAQ entry that seems to be
on this topic, but for Windows only.
If there isn't an automatic option for this, is there perhaps a
Quicksilver way to do this?
Secondly, the handset seems to work in most situations, but when I
skype out to our office landline I get the following strange situation:
- skype says - phone ringing
- office phone - rings, pick up
- skype says - still ringing
- office phone says - silence
- skype says - still ringing ....
Has anyone encountered this? I tested skype out to a mobile and two
other landlines and the ring-pickup works fine. Its just one
landline that doesn't work (but maybe others).
Using OS X 10.4.8 on an iMac G5.
