Glenn, My Keyspan seems to do it automatically without intervention
on my part.
After reading your posting I tried playing iTunes through the
speakers and then dialed out. iTunes faded out and the sound
switched to the handset. I had not tried this before but had manually
switched from Line Out to Headset prior to dialing out. Seemingly
this is not necessary. Maybe the difference is that I am not using
the internal speakers?
As to your other question, I have occasionally experienced
difficulties (with or without Keyspan) with some landline
connections, but these have usually resolved themselves on a second
attempt.
best to all, Michael

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.

Glenn.
