Once Jabber is running and connected to phone services, you can select the sound devices Jabber will use for making and receiving phone calls. To adjust these settings:
- Open the "Settings" window by clicking on your Jabber profile icon then selecting Settings.
- Click on Audio in the left-hand navigation menu. Click on the drop-downs for Speaker and Microphone to select the desired audio device. If you always use the same devices, select the option to "Keep using the current microphone or speaker". If not, see step three to set a device preference order.
- Within the Audio settings section, scroll down and click on the Advanced >> link to arrange your device order. You will see audio devices for "Ringer/Alerts", "Speaker:", and "Microphone:". Devices which are greyed out are devices which have been previously plugged in or used but are not currently present. Devices which are black are currently present. Select a device and use the up and down arrows to arrange them in order of preference. NOTE: You cannot reorder the devices used for Ringer/Alerts. By default, Jabber will ring on all available audio devices.
