Rating: - * Works Perfectly ... This one is working perfectly so far with the new driver. I have Win XP-SP3 but don't have any issue. In my opinion the key is to use the new driver from D-Link website in place of the driver, shipped in the CD along with this. Highly recommended. Rating: - * Works well when connected ... It works when the D-Link software is connected with hardware and Skype. The problem is that it loses connection with the USB box every few hours, and after that you often have to reboot PC to regain connection. D-Link doesn't work hard enough on their software updates. Rating: - * D-Link DPH-50U Skype phone adapter ... It generally works perfect. Some times I get hung up on and it lot of static. It might not be the D-Link. If you understand how Skype works through someone elses PC, you have to wonder. The only complaints were it was difficult to install. Don't use the software it comes with, download new code from D-Link. Next, the volume is much higher, and my desk phone can't lower the volume. It is a great product and a great idea! Rating: - * d-link junk ... D-Link DPH-50U Skype USB Phone Adapter This product has given nothing but trouble. The main problem is that it crashes in the middle of most calls that last longer than a few minutes. After downloading new software from the d-link web site the problem still persisted. When I contacted d-link I was told that the software hadn't been updated to work with Windows XP SP3 and that I would have to remove it and reinstall SP2. Furthermore, nothing on the d-link web site warned the potential buyer of this problem. Advice - don't touch it with a ten foot pole. Rating: - * Works great but you need to do this to install. ... Worked great for me but installation was tricky. For Vista you need to ignore the Cd it comes with a go to the web site: http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=466&sec=0#drivers to download the driver. You should follow the instructions carefully. Also, I needed to install 3 times with a reboot in the middle before it would finally work. Also, you need to set a few options in Skype to make sure the sound goes to the phone: http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=2728&question=dph%2D50u The new menu under Skype is called Audio settings and you should only change the Microphone and Speaker settings to VoipPlayback(D-Link Virtual Audio Device). Other combinations did not work for me.
