To use USB mike/earphone headset with either Apple or PC.
Plug in the USB headset before connecting to the meeting. The headset should work automatically.After you are connected to the meeting, if your USB headset does not work, unplug it, pause, and plug it back in. Your meeting software will ask if you want to start using the new audio hardware. Click "use new hardware".
If your USB headset still does not work (and you know how to restart your computer): leave the USB headset plugged in, restart your computer, then rejoin the meeting. The USB headset will then work correctly.
For Apple computers, to avoid having to restart your computer, you can do the following: plug in the USB headset > go to the apple symbol in extreme top left corner of screen > system preferences > hardware > sound > output > choose your brand of headset > adjust volume. Then > input > choose your brand of headset again > done! exit sound.
(The equivalent action on a PC does not always help).
