With LinguSocial, any sound device supported by your OS can be selected and used as the source of audio; both mic and speaker. However, depending on your device, the call quality and support capabilities will vary. For best results, a high-quality device is recommended; especially in a noisy or high-density environment.

LinguSocial Meetings provides noise cancellation and echo cancellation on every audio & video meeting. The majority of higher-quality devices or headsets also provide effective capabilities that can further improve the effectiveness of noise and echo cancellation on LinguSocial calls.

Please refer to the device manufacturer’s website for recommendations on the best device to use for your environment or contact your LinguSocial representative for a recommendation.

Supported sound devices

To set your calls up for success, there are certain characteristics of a sound device or headset that can be considered to measure best quality: Device drivers, sound pressure, and electrical resistance. For best results, a high-quality device is recommended for noisy or high density environments.

Consider the following when choosing a headset to connect with your PC:

  • Use a name brand headset known for quality
  • Choose a headset with noise cancellation appropriate for your environment
  • Do not use built in PC Bluetooth. Use a USB Bluetooth dongle instead
  • One ear or two ear headsets are personal preference but two ears can help provide the best audio experience in noisy environments
  • Make sure you have the latest driver for your headset to avoid issues
  • Ensure that you do not have environmental interference with your wireless device
  • Check the wireless device specifications or consult with the manufacturer
  • Thick walls, distance or dense wireless environments can all have a negative impact on voice quality.
