Revolabs xTag Instruction manual

Microphone Loan Program
How to: Connect and configure the Revolabs xTag Microphone in a classroom computer.
Right-Click on the Speaker Icon in the system
tray at the lower right-hand side of your screen.
Select Playback devices.
You will see the Revolabs xTag as the default
device for Playback.
This needs to be changed to whichever other
Sound Card you see on this list. Depending on
the computer you’re using, this could be
different. The Sound Card usually has HD in its
name.
IMPORTANT: If you leave the playback set to
the Revolabs xTag, your Camtasia Relay
recording will not be able to play audio to the
classroom, and more importantly, your Camtasia
Relay recording will not have any audio except
for your voice as recorded through the Revolabs
xTag.
Select and right-click on the non Revolabs xTag
sound device.

Click on Set as Default Device.
Right-click again, and this time, click on Set as
Default Communication Device.
Click on the Recording tab, and ensure that the
Revolabs xTag microphone is set to the Default
Device.
This should already be active. If it is not, then
please right-click and make Default now.
Why you need to do this:
The first time you plug the Revolabs xTag in, it
takes over both the Windows 7 Playback AND
Recording—it becomes the Sound Card for
both. The microphone should only take over the
Recording function.
The good news:
This process should only be done the first time
you use the computer. Windows 7 remembers
the configuration change the next time you plug
the USB microphone in.
Please remember to double-check the Audio
settings in Camtasia Relay and test your
recordings BEFORE you start your lecture.
