Mode menu

Use this menu if you want to apply a speaking or listening filter to one audio mode in particular.

Filters

  • Speaking

  • Listening

Applying a speaking filter can alter the sound of your voice; applying a listening filter can alter the sound of the other party's voice.

As a rule, keep filters set to "None" unless you are using Cisco IP Communicator over a VPN connection and have enabled low bandwidth (Preferences > Audio). With low bandwidth enabled, applying filters can make your voice or the other party's voice sound sharper and more natural.

You can experiment with applying filters during a call. To gauge the effect of a speaking filter, ask the other party how you sound.
