Using USB-headset instead of using a standard telephone

Is it possible to use for instance DSP-500 or any other USB-headset to use
with outlookdialer? It would be really convinient instead to lifting a
headset on a telephone each time to call from Outlook. You can use
USB-headsets for everytheing else and I think a lot of people would like it
implemented, (if it not is already ).

There is no Outlook dialer. Outlook just uses the Windows dialer which has
no support for voice modems.

Thanks for your prompt answer. I need to rephrase my question. Is there any
way to use USB-headset together with the windows dialer, instead of using a
telephone connected to the modem??.???

Not if it requires voice modem support, which I assume it does.

I just want to understand this better. I too would like to dial from Outlook
contacts. I have my telephone line plugged to laptop, headset (with both
microphone and speaker) and I can dial and hear them, but they can not hear
me. There must be a setting to turn the microphone on? because what's the
sense then. If there is or not, please let me know and if there is how do I
turn on the microphone so they can hear me. I checked everything and it is
not muted.

Your assistance is appreciated.

This is not an Outlook issue. Outlook has no dialer and does not dial calls.
You need dialing software that supports your headset and a voice modem. Did
the hardware manufacturer recommend any? You might be able to find some that
will integrate with Outlook contacts as its database.

Check whatever software you are using to dial. Failing that, check
Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices and see if its detected there.

If your modem is voice-capable, you'll need to plug the microphone into the
modem's microphone port, not the PC's microphone port. Then you'll have to
tell Windows to use that microphone and not the sound card's microphone.
