Preferences – Devices

Bria automatically detects devices at each startup, and selects the most appropriate device for each purpose. If

you do not like this selection, you can override it on this panel.

If you override a selection, it will apply the next time you start Bria, unless the device is no longer available, in

which case Bria will again select the device to use.

Table 11: Preferences – Devices

Field Description

Headset Mode

Speaker

Microphone

Change these fields only if you want to override the devices that Bria automatically selected.

In both these fields, select the headset you are using.

The headset is the device that is usually used for the speaker (the sound you hear) and microphone

(recording your voice). The only situation in which the headset is not used is when the Speaker

Phone button on the dialpad is pressed.

Therefore, unless you will always be using Bria in speakerphone mode, you must make a selection

here.

Select the headset in both the Speaker device field and Microphone device field.

HID Device If the selected headset device is a HID-compliant device, this field specifies that device. You can

click Setup in order to assign functions to the device. For example, you can set the green button so

that it answers an incoming call.

Zero-touch device

configuration

Typically, leave on. When device configuration is on, if you change your audio or video device,

Bria will automatically detect the new device and start using it.

Also ring PC speaker Click on or off, to suit your preference.

Test Devices For information on the Test Devices button, see page 87.

Same as headset mode, but for the device to use when speakerphone is one (on the toolbar).

disabled.

You can set different devices for the speaker and microphone: for example, you can set the speaker

to the speakerphone and set the microphone to your headset.

HID Device Same as headset mode.
