Are there Lync Optimized Softphone headsets that don't create a dialtone when you turn them on?

We're deploying Lync voice in an office and we're going to deploy headsets that can connect to Lync Phones and the computer. So far I have tried two headsets and both of them create a dialtone as soon as you push the PC button. If you don't make a call,
Lync then hangs up and the headset turns off. This is great unless you plan on using Skype or listening to a quick audio clip with the headset, in which case, you have to turn off Lync for the dialtone to not come up.
I'm a little confused after doing some searching. Some say this is a feature, which makes me think it will happen on every device, others seem to think its a bug and has been fixed on some devices (mainly the Sennheiser DW 2, which is too expensive for this
project).
So my question is: Is it every device? Does it hold true for just USB/Phone devices? Or do headsets that only have USB do it also?

I use the Plantronics Voyager Legend UC and although I get a dialtone if I push the button on the headset, if I just want to listen to a file I don't need to push that button. I just set the headset as my output device in Windows and it just plays straight
out them.

  • Bought an iPod nano for use in an external source to the unit of the BMW. It works, but don't remember the place when you turn off the power and every time begins to play the playlist first.

    Bought an iPod nano for use in an external source to the unit of the BMW. It works, but don't remember the place when you turn off the power and every time begins to play the playlist first.

    Thanks iPod Whisperer--
    I do realize that the nano will resume where I left off in my audiobook if I reload the file that was last playing.
    What I was hoping is that the 6g nano would work like my previous iPods and default to the last file played the next time played after Iused sleep mode instead of going to some random song on the iPod.
    Since I usually have a lot of audiobooks on my iPod--and most of those have 10-15 files in them, it's a pain to have to navigate to the correct file (and try to remember which of the 10-15 files I was last playing). On all my other iPods I could simply hit play and it would start up in the audiobook right where it left off.
    Note--this only happens if I use the sleep timer to turn off the iPod. If I pause the book myself, when I turn the iPod back on it'll "remember" what file it was playing.
    Hope this makes sense.

  • Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair with more than one device at a time?

    Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair, i.e. multipoint, with more than one device at a time?
    Are the MacBook and iPhone 4 capable of multipoint bluetooth technoloagy?
    The goal is for my wife to be able to watch her Korean TV soap operas on her MacBook and still receive a call on her iPhone 4 via a stereo bluetooth headset.
    I was looking at the Motorola S10-HD but after further review saw that it only pairs with one device at a time.
    Appreciate any and all input. My Googling has returned no results.

    You can only pair one device at a time to your 8330, or any other phone for that matter.  The "pairings" are saved to the phone, you can use one or the other and you won't have to pair it again.  Once you turn your bluetooth device on and the phone is on, they will find each other again.

  • If i have one iPad and I want all the apps that are there how do I copy that so i can have them on another iPad the same way as i have them on the first iPad?

    if i have one iPad and I want all the apps that are there how do I copy that so i can have them on another iPad the same way as i have them on the first iPad?

    If you want both iPad to be identical .....
    Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    Now connect your iPad to your Mac and start iTunes.
    When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases.
    After it finishes transferring all your apps to the Mac, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    Sync the iPad and eject it when it is complete.
    Quit iTunes
    Connect the second iPad.
    Launch iTunes
    Right click on the iPad name on the left side and select - Restore from Backup
    Select the backup of the first iPad and let it restore from that backup.
    When it finishes restoring - sync with iTunes to transfer all of the apps and any other content that you want onto that iPad
    Eject the iPad when you are done.
    Check the second iPad and if all of the content did not sync as you wanted - or you want to remove some of the content - connect it again and then choose the content that you want - uncheck what you do not want - and click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

  • Are there any digital/video frames that will play .mov files?

    are there any digital/video frames that will play .mov files?

    Hi
    Not understanding Your Question - I can only guess
    .mov - are no specific Video Format (Codec) it is a container (read folder) and can hold Codecs many program can use and NOT.
    QuickTime Player use to open many of them - try this and if it opens then Open Inspector [ cmd + I ] and read
    • Video Format (Codec): nnnnnnnnnn
    • Frame Rate: yyyyyyy
    What does they say
    When QT-Players don't open - I use VLC-Player (Google it and download for free). It use to take most of the Codecs.
    Yours - May be far out in the Blue - Bengt W

  • Are there any other flash players that you can use on Safari other than Adobe

    Are there any other flash players that you can use on Safari other than Adobe?

    Not as far as I am aware.
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS The latest version, 10.2.152.25 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Note that the latest Flash Player update only works on YouTube with Safari in 32 bit mode - until YouTube correct this.

  • Simple question. Since apple has extinguished iDVD Are there any other Software programs that can produce the end product iDVD did?

    There are many a thousands of people who are producingvideos on completed DVDs. As an amateur videographer using iMovie first nowusing Final Cut pro to produce completed ready to distribute DVDs, I find ithard to believe at the meeting you mentioned anyone with common sense wouldhave explained the scenario above. On an amateur level so many folks have beencreating videos of Weddings, Home Movies, and many different Special Events. Onin particular are sports events. I shoot a sports event like Mix Martial ArtsEvents utilizing several video cameras. Then editing with Final cut Pro andsometimes iMovie. All of my completed videos that have been edited in either ofthese two programs are shared (like hand in glove) with iDVD. Short of steppinginto the commercial world Apple has deleted many people from producing a semiprofessional looking product.
    I do not know if the can be answered here in the format buthere it goes!!

    I have 4 latest Macs All have iDVD. The question was not where to get iDVD.
    The question for anyone who knows is: Since apple has extinguished iDVD Are there any other Software programs that can produce the end product iDVD did?
    I appreciate your input but it realy does not answer the question. iDVD will soon not be able to work with newer versions of Macs as it has been left behind by Apple!
    Once again:

    Imovie cannot do this. More importantly imovie cannot save the project to Video_TS folders like iDVD did.
    Anyone have suggestions?

  • Are there any free TV channels that can be received on the Apple TV?

    Are there any free TV channels that can be received on the Apple TV?

    No, it's not a TV tuner.  It's primarily marketed as a rental vehicle for iTunes store movies/purchases and for playback of compatible (see specs) media from iTunes.
    Some subscription streams are available eg Netflix, MLB as well as youTube and some limited internet content (no browser).
    Check the Apple tech pages.

    I have been trying to develop digital pictures from my ipad2 photo library. I don't have iPhoto. When I develop them with snapfish or Walgreens they are fuzzy and blurry (low res/pixels).
