Otherwise, you can get a microphone, and still not have to use the headset, 
because it will use the microphone and the speakers.  Pam.

If your computer has a built in camra and microphone it will automaticly use
the builtin microphone for any calls if you do not have the microphone from
the head set plugged in.
