Problems with Hi-Phone USB Desktop on Windows 7

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a USB HiPhone Desktop that I am using.  I have it successfully installed & working on my XP laptop.
However, on my 64 bit Windows 7 laptop, I CANNOT get it to work correctly.  I have tried installing both sets of 64 bit drivers on the download page, & I even tried installing the beta version of the same.  I also tried using the default XP drivers.  All was to no avail.    I cannot get it to record me during the test, and it seems like it is not detecting a dial tone.  I hear it, but it does not actually dial the # I give it in the test.  Again, everything works flawlessly in XP.

HELP!

	The Hi-Phone firmware version should be WIN 7 compatible. What is your Hi-Phone Device fw version?

	Hmm...well, I have a new problem. The Hi-Phone was working great on the XP, but now it won't even turn on when plugged in. It's like it's broken or something. Assuming that I can get that worked out, here is my answer to what you said before. You asked about the firmware - I cannot say what version it is, but I suspect it's "out of date." But on your download page, it is stated "Please make sure that the file you use matches your product's P/N. Using the wrong file may damage your device and void the warranty!" Below that, it says "Hi-Phone Desktop USB, P/N HD00USGR01 (Must run on WIN XP)* Version: 4.02.36 Updated: 18-Nov-2009 " The "" refers to a statement at the bottom of the page, " The firmware upgrade supports WIN XP only. WIN Vista, WIN 7, and WIN server 2008 are not supported." This would seem to indicate that Windows 7 is not supported, and further after this it says, "Using the wrong Operating System for firmware upgrade may damage your device and void the warranty!" Rather ominous, no? Sooooo.....if you ask me to update the firmware, is way2call accepting any liability for problems incurred as a result thereof? Or am I misunderstanding what is written? I appreciate your help, but I just want to make sure I'm not damaging the equipment. It's not my equipment, although the warranty may have already expired. Nonetheless, I don't want to damage the unit. On a 2nd note...any idea why the unit is not powering on after working perfectly today? Thanks much!

	OK...the Hi-Phone has resurrected. I unplugged it and plugged back in and it's working. I think I tried that before, but it's late.... This enabled me to check the firmware version, which is 4.52.07 Thanks, and cheers!

	Its very simple. New device comes with WIN 7 compatible fw. Since you are using older fw version, it should be updated to support the changes made by MS in the WIN 7 audio system. The firmware utility run only on WIN XP. Once the fw has been updated on WIN XP, the device works on WIN 7. 1. Connect the device to a PC machine with WIN XP 2. Download the fw upgrade for your device (make sure the part number match) 3. Read the Hi-Phone Desktop USB firmware update reference guide (It always good) 4. Run the fw upgrade utility 5. Disconnect the device from the XP machine. 6. Connect the device to a WIN 7 machine 7. :-) Dont use WIN 7 to upgrade the device fw. Dont use wrong device part number when choosing the fw utility.

	Thank you...that makes a lot of sense. I'm beginning the process now on the XP machine. One question - I assume I need the most recent 64 bit drivers on the Win 7 machine?

	Yes, Use the latest Hi-Phone 64 bit drivers

	Excellent. Problem solved! Thanks so much for your help. Another challenge - the software that I use to make calls is acting like the way2call cannot hear the phone ringing or people speaking. It should hang up the phone after 4-5 rings and dial the next #, and it should also make my microphone go hot when someone answers. Any idea why that would work fine on XP but not on Win 7? Thanks!

	What software application are you using? Also please provide your setting. Are you using headset connected to the Hi-Phone, or connected to the PC?

	OK...the application I'm using is very proprietary & I doubt you'd have any experience with it. It is a program called "Hinkle" and it's used by the company Direct Buy for telemarketing. I plug my headset into a Plantronics amplifier, which is plugged into the Way2Call USB device. I do not know what you mean by "setting." My driver settings are as follows: Way2call Drivers Information: Package Version: 2.01.16.1 64bit OS version: 6.1.7600 Device Information: 1.
