Nureva® audio conferencing systems can be configured to work with Unified Communications and Collaboration (UC&C) software by following the steps below. These instructions apply to the HDL200, HDL300, and Dual HDL300 audio conferencing systems.

Nureva Console and background noise analytics

An important aspect of adjusting your UC&C client's settings is an understanding of the background noise levels of your room. Nureva Console offers an analytics feature through the cloud application. The available analytics include background noise levels for enrolled devices.

To start, set your Nureva audio conferencing system as the default microphone and speaker.

Setting your default device

To ensure the Nureva audio conferencing system is ready for conference calls it must be set as the default audio and default communication device for playback and recording within the computer's sound settings.
  • Open Nureva Console client
  • Select the audio conferencing device from the Devices list on the left of the dashboard
  • Scroll down the page to Settings and select Open sound settings


In Windows® sound settings

  • Select the Playback tab
    • Select Echo Cancelling Speakerphone (HDLxxx)
    • Using the drop-down menu at the bottom of the panel, choose Set as Default Communication device
    • Select Echo Cancelling Speakerphone (HDLxxx)
    • Using the drop-down menu at the bottom of the panel, choose Set as Default device

  • Select the Recording tab
    • Select Echo Cancelling Speakerphone (HDLxxx)
    • Using the drop-down menu at the bottom of the panel, choose Set as Default Communication device
    • Select Echo Cancelling Speakerphone (HDLxxx)
    • Using the drop-down menu at the bottom of the panel, choose Set as Default device

Changing the volume

Adjustments to the input (microphones) or output (speakers) can be made using the Windows sound settings.

Adjusting the input (microphone) volume

From Nureva Console client

  • Select the audio conferencing device from the Devices list on the left side of the dashboard
  • Scroll down the page to Settings and select Open sound settings

From Windows sound settings

  • Select the Recording tab
    • Right-click on Echo Cancelling Speakerphone (HDLxxx)
    • Select Properties
    • Choose the Levels tab
    • Adjust the audio level
    • Click on OK

Adjusting the output (speaker) volume

From Nureva Console client

  • Select the audio conferencing device from the Devices list on the left side of the dashboard
  • Scroll down the page to Settings and select Open sound settings

From Windows sound settings

  • Select the Playback tab
    • Right-click on Echo Cancelling Speakerphone (HDLxxx)
    • Select Properties
    • Choose the Levels tab
    • Adjust the audio level
    • Click on OK

If you adjust the speaker or microphone volume in your audio conferencing software, the settings in your Windows system settings may not change. This inconsistency might make it difficult for you to get your audio conferencing system to an optimal input or output volume. 


We recommend setting, and leaving, your audio conferencing software to a volume of approximately 80%. Then, when you need to change the system's input or output volume, adjust it using the Windows sound settings.
