    I have a BT headset I used for my cordless phone. I would like to use it for skype. I have it syned and can change the audio sound on it by using the buttons on the headset and I can see the audio move up and down for volume in the mac. When I talk it also shows how lound my voice is. But when I dial with skype I hear it begin dialing in the headset then I only hear the sound through the macbook speakers.

    When I end the call I hear the hangup sound in the BT headset.

    What am I doing wrong?


    ***EDITED to add I just found it by accident

    I had to change the audio and mic settings in skype! It works great now


    Why do people pay so much for headsets for computers if any BT headset for a cell phone works?
