I use Skype all the time. So if you just get a headset with a microphone that has usb connection all you would have to do is plug in the usb to your pc and it will automatically connect to Skype when you turn Skype on..You will not have to do anything else.

He use to plug the headphones into the back of the soundcard. The set has two plugs plus a usb connection. I do not know my way around win 8 or Skype. can it be tailored to use this hardware? If so where do I look to make the changes. I installed the demo copy of jaws on his machine so only have about 30 minutes to make the changes. --- Please visit my web page It’s motivational, inspirational with a touch of humor There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind http://www.LennyMcHugh.com International Brotherhood of Magicians member #43990R For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
