Plantronics Hub v3.9.4 Update Windows/Mac

[Steve Krause]

Just got prompted to update my softphone/headset software and it reminded me (to remind all of you) that this is a good example of why it's important to keep all the software on your Windows/Mac box fully updated.

In my case, the Plantronics Hub software is the brains behind my Headset which I use for all things Audio and Mic on my work Mac including Cisco Jabber or Skype, WebEx, Slack calls and a few other apps. It also updates the firmware on my headset and Plantronics Bluetooth headset. So, it's fairly important.

Here are the release notes for the V3.9.4 update.

A lot has happened since 2017. Plantronics and Polycom merged to create Poly. And now, HP has acquired Poly. Looking at the latest updates, I needed to update my version of the Plantronics Hub, aka Poly Hub, to the latest version. Here's what I grabbed as of Feb. 2024

 

Plantronics Hub Desktop V3.25.1 (V3.25.54065.37203)

I grabbed it from the Download site which. Although the site says it's Version 3.24.2 when I actually downloaded it, it was V3.25.1

 

The release notes were not easy to find given all the changes to the company between Poly and HP however, I did track down the Release notes here:

https://docs.poly.com/bundle/plantronics-hub-2-rn/resource/plantronics-hub-2-rn.pdf

I have no idea if this will all stick around now that they've been purchased. So I've added the release notes below and the latest version below. Enjoy

• When using some softphones, ignoring a call while a Calisto 5300 is muted can result in the loss of mute synchronization between the speakerphone and Windows/Hub

• For MDA200 and MDA400 QD Series, firmware updates are available using Plantronics Hub for Windows only. Plantronics Hub for Mac does not support firmware updates for these devices.
• On the MDA220 (Product ID 0xAD04), the serial number is not reported correctly in Plantronics Hub for Windows and Mac. It is also not accurately reported to Plantronics Manager Pro.
• Lost audio connections may occur if the BT600 is unplugged and then plugged back in. Users must shut down Plantronics Hub and re-start it to regain audio connection.

• To ensure accurate data in Plantronics Manager Pro reports, customers using Avaya Equinox should open the softphone client prior to opening Plantronics Hub for Windows.
