USB phone.
Make sure your Skype is allowed to be accessed by the provided API. To check
this setting, open Skype window and take these steps:
Click Tools > Options > Privacy > Manage other program's access to Skype.
Select WEBTALKER 200.EXE and click Change, then re-select a proper option to let the
program access Skype. If you have reset a proper option but there is still no response, try to

In Skype window, click Tools > Options > Sound Devices. When the following screen pops
up, make sure the microphone and speaker are correctly configured as below.

music by my PC's sound card?
Yes. Just set your sound card as the playback device in Windows®.

Audio tab.
