Configuration
Before making a call or after any changes, perform a systematic test of the speaker (headphones) and the microphone (using integrated tests within your video conferencing application, test call with a colleague, etc.). Make sure the headset is turned on. If the test fails, follow the actions below.
USB connection
Ensure that the Tilde® Pro headset is set as the default device:
- Right-click on the speaker icon at the bottom right.
- Sound > Playback > Headset.
- For microphone > Default (select both options one after the other):
Bluetooth connection
Select the “Stereo” profile as the default, and the “Hands-Free AG” profile as the default for communication:
Regarding web client applications (used within your web browser): the default device is the one selected in your operating system, unless the application allows for a different setting (e.g., Google Meet).
- Close all other video conferencing applications.
- Restart the application.
- Delete TildePro from Bluetooth devices (see Windows / MacOS resource center).
- Reset the Bluetooth on the Tilde® Pro headset (refer to the user manual).
- Re-pair the Tilde® Pro headset with the computer.
If you are using Windows, check in > Settings > Privacy > Microphone that “Microphone access for this device is allowed” is at the top of the page (if not, click the “Change” button), and ensure that your application is present in one of the lists of allowed apps.
In case of failure: reinstall Bluetooth on your computer. This procedure is relatively quick (refer to online resources or your IT administrator). If the issue persists, contact your support.
