Changing your E-Mail Address
In the event you change your e-mail address (e.g., you change your Internet
service provider), you will need to change your E-Mail address in the
Network Parameters section of the Creative WebPhone Configure window.
A message will be displayed when your e-mail address change has been
confirmed.
Audio Programs and your Creative WebPhone
Playing audio (WAV, MIDI, CD player...) through your sound card with
another program while Creative WebPhone is running is not a good idea and
may prevent Creative WebPhone from operating properly. When Creative
WebPhone requires control of the sound card (to play a sound effect or to
allow conversation with a party) and the sound card is in use, it will attempt
to terminate the sound being played. If Creative WebPhone cannot gain
control of the sound card, it will display a dialog box informing you “Sound
Card Already In Use”. If this occurs during an active conversation, the call
will be placed on hold. Correct the problem (stop using the sound card with
the other application) and take the call off hold to resume your conversation.
Sound Cards and your Creative WebPhone
Make sure your Voice Activation Level (located in the Creative WebPhone
flip door), is set to recognize silence. Otherwise, the parties you call using
half duplex sound cards will never get an opportunity to talk (they will
always see LISTEN in their display and you will always see TALK in your
display). If this happens, stop talking into the microphone and move the
Voice Activation Level (VOX) slider to the right until the VOX meter
displays Silence and you see the red bar. Now verify the VOX enunciator
displays Speaking and the red bar disappears (covered by the green bar) only
when you talk into the microphone.
You will obtain superior audio performance if you enable your sound card’s
automatic gain control (AGC) via the mixer application bundled with your
sound card.
