Same problem flash movies stops after 2 secs. This happens when i plug in my Plantronics USB-transmitter. I am finding a lot of complaints about the 2 sec-and-stop-problem on forums, but there may be other causes for this too.

Hi,

Im facing problems with V510 and flash movie players (youtube, openforum.com, etc).

The movie loads, I hear the beep indicating the presence of audio signal, but the movie plays 2 seconds and stops. I upgraded Flash player (release 115) and tried to find any audio options related to this, but without sucess.

This happens with anyone else? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Leo

I Have a problem with my voyager 510. When I try to connect to my iMac (Leopard) it says that there are no configuration settings needed. But when i go to my audio settings it doesnt display my plantronics headset. And then when i check in my bleutooth settings i says that my headset is not connected. . .

I have a external bleutooth stick and i am also using my wireless keyboard and mouse on it. Can somebody please help me with this problem.

Thanks,

Bas Blokhuis

Great question!

I’m pretty sure no drivers are required assuming your iMac has bluetooth and the version of OS X you have supports the bluetooth headset profile.

I’ve used this headset with a PowerBook PowerPC G4 in the past. I think I had OS X 10.3 at the time…. it definitely worked with OS X 10.4.

I hope that helps!

Time for the stupid question. I have used the voyager on a pc lap top and it works fine with Skype. I also have an iMac PowerPC G4. The disk that came with the headset is not recognisable by the Mac. The question is do I need separate drivers for the Mac or should it recognise the headset.

I followed the lead of a few who just tried pairing it again.
Worked.
Thanks for that.

Did anyone work out how to pair with cell phone and PC for skype?

I have a Logitech BT dongle.

It has paired with the PC, but does not appear as an audio input/output option in either control panel or skype.

Thanks, Chris — based on your reply (which I just read today) I decided to try it again. This time, it worked! It paired with the MBP, and I was able to use it for a VOIP call… I don’t understand why it didn’t work before — no change in my procedure this time — the only thing that might have contributed is the MBP has been rebooted after several weeks of not being rebooted… so perhaps something was corrupt…

Anyway, it seems to work!

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

I have a Core Duo 1 Macbook Pro, and the headset is working fine.

I’m no expert in this area, but I would see if bluetooth is working for you at all on your new machine. Can you try connecting to a cell phone with bluetooth? You might consider heading to the Apple store to see if they can help.
