About audio

The ClickShare Button captures the audio output of the user’s laptop and sends it to the Base Unit together with the video signal. The audio will be output at line levels from the mini jack socket (3.5mm), TOSLINK socket and via the HDMI connector.

It is up to the user to decide whether or not to send the audio signal together with the video signal. The user can decide this by using the same tools as he would to control the laptop’s speakers or a headphone: the audio controls of the operating system (eg for Windows: Control Panel > Sounds and audio devices) or the physical buttons on the keyboard of their laptop (mute/unmute, lower volume, higher volume).

There will be synchronization between the audio and video signal.

Audio via HDMI

When your display is connected via HDMI and it supports audio, a separate audio connection is not necessary. The audio signal is sent together with the video signal to the display.

How to connect separate audio

1. When using the analog output, connect an audio cable with mini jack (3.5mm) into the analog audio output of the Base Unit.

   When using the digital output, connect an fibre optical cable with TOSLINK connector into the digital audio output of the Base Unit.

2. Connect the other side to the meeting room's sound system.

Sound is not sent out

In some Windows environments sound is not sent out. This can be solved as follow:

1. Right click on the sound icon in the system tray and select Playback devices. The Sound window opens.
2. Select Speakers ClickShare, select Set default and click Apply.
