Bad audio quality 20 minutes on chat (Skype)

After about 20 minutes on Skype, the audio quality degrades significantly, the peer has echo, I have various disturbing tones or my sound is like a Bedard.

These effects report different partners on Skype, but only with me! Therefore, I propose that the fault must be on my PC.
If someone has done such an experience and is at - it assistance for her?

Hi Peter kaufmaqnn,.

Follow the troubleshooting steps in this document Support of Skype.  You have other applications/programs running when you use Skype? Check your communication settings using the following steps. If it is set to do nothing, change to reduce the volume of other sounds of 80%.

  1. Right-click on the volume icon in the notification bar (usually lower right corner of your screen)
  2. Select the playback device
  3. Select the Communications tab
  4. If the activity of communications is nothing, try to change to the setting suggests above.
  5. Click apply
  6. Click OK

You can also check to see if you get the same sound quality when you use a different headset or try your headphones on another computer.

Let us know if that helps.

  • Bad Audio quality of Blue Snowball with Connect

    I am using a microphone snowball blue with Connect, with sound quality terrible. With other software (for example, Camtasia) quality sound is big, so the microphone is OK.

    My suspicion is a mismatch of sampling, as Snowball uses a parameter fixed 16-bit/44.1 kHz. Can I set this up in connect?

    Stefan BR

    Found the solution. In the preferences, the option "use audio improved" (or similar - I use the German version, this is it: Voreinstellungen > Mikrophone > "use Verbessertes Audio") must be disabled.

  • bad audio quality for phone calls

    All the people who contact me by telephone say they cannot hear me or my voice seems to be under water.

    See if you have the microphone noise suppression enabled in the settings of the call.

  • Why the audio quality of Apple TV 4 film is so bad?

    I have my Apple TV (4th generation) hooked up to my receiver Pioneer Elite and the audio quality is very, very bad on all HD, its horrible movies. Everything is fine with my HDMI cable, receiver, or Apple TV. The volume is so low compared to the playback of a blu - ray movie or watch anything on television. When I watch a movie to iTunes HD on my Apple TV, I have to turn up the volume so much, but it does not increase the volume as it should. The audio is so different from a blu - ray movie, seems almost alive compared to watching a movie to iTunes on my Apple TV. Its really, really frustrating. Its almost unacceptable. Whats up, the poor audio quality? In most cases I pay more money for a movie to iTunes that the blu - ray of the same film. I expect the same or better quality audio.

    Sorry it's perfectly audible here, you do not have something to get lost with your installation or your equipment.

  • CarPlay audio quality of the voice when it is connected through the USB port is poor vs Bluetooth on Pioneer AVH-4200NEX

    Hello!

    I recently installed a Pioneer AVH-4200NEX unit, I was super excited to improve my car with the support of CarPlay, and everything works great except for one thing.  When I connect my iPhone (6s +) to the unit via a USB cable and a standard phone call, the audio quality is very bad - hail, very downsampled, and metallic sounding compared to the use of Bluetooth via the unit to pioneer for the same phone call (I'm on LTE, using HD voice, although the quality difference is quite noticeable on the calls not HD and on the 4 G calls).  I looked for an answer to this question, but the best that I can find mention of limited USB bandwidth and try to juggle than the bandwidth for the rest of the CarPlay experience, although I don't buy not because audio via the iPhone connected with USB playback is just as clear that it is through Bluetooth.  So my question is: How can I submit a bug report Apple about this behavior and (b) do you have other CarPlay users also be known this recent problem on a unit of Pioneer NEX (AppRadio included)?  It would be great if this is a bug of Pioneer for which they can release a firmware update, I'm just worried that it is a codec problem specified by the CarPlay, so non repairable.

    Thank you!

    Hello served,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that when you use the USB cable for your iPhone in your car with the audio CarPlay is mediocre. I know how it is important for you to hear your calls clearly. In a situation like this, I recommend the steps described in the following article to help solve the problem.

    Configure CarPlay to use with your iPhone

    Specifically the section to get help:

    Get help

    If CarPlay does not work as you expect, here's what you can check. After each step, try to use CarPlay again.

    1. Make sure that Siri is turned on.
    2. Restart your iPhone and your car. Depending on your car, you can see the CarPlay home screen when you turn it on. If you do not, look for the CarPlay logo on the screen of your car.
    3. If possible, connect your iPhone to a different USB port in your car.
    4. Try a different lightning to a USB cable. Make sure that the cable is certified.
    5. Update to the latest version of iOS.
    6. Check the manual using your car. You may need to install updates of firmware for your stereo.

    See you soon

    This makes it very difficult to use this laptop for music, VOIP and Skype without having applications to carry on a heaeset of a certain type.

    Someone at - it to another eperianced this problem and had a solution. No help from Toshiba?

    Best regards

    Andrew

    Sorry, but what kind of problem mean you? Is the sound not loud enough or what?
    I want to say that this laptop has standard stereo speakers and harman/kardon speakers not high-end inside.

    I have the Satellite L300 with same stereo speakers. The sound is OK, but not as good as on other laptops with h/K speakers.

    By the way: what kind of help do you expect? A new driver that makes the speakers more hard maybe?

  • bad sound quality in the desktop version but not in the modern windows application

    I have a brand new Microsft Surface Pro 3 with all the updates that are installed and the latest version of Skype.

    When I use the modern windows application, the sound quality is very good.

    When I use the desktop app, it looks like wind. The poor sound is experienced by myself and the recipient and also when I echo test call.

    I uninstalled the windows application modern to have installed both causes a conflict.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app without result.

    It is not the mouse or the speaker settings on my surface, because it works perfectly well when you use the modern windows application.

    any suggestions?

    I have now solved the problem by removing the MCO.

    For all those affected by the poor audio quality in Skype desktop client, please go to:

    Tools > Options > Audio Settings, then uncheck "Automatically adjust microphone settings" and "automatically adjusts the speaker settings.

    Credit for this fix is due to Tim Rolston of lovemysurface.net and I recommend his site to any other users of microsoft surface.

    I installied the last 'pilot' vom site of Toshiba (version 2.0.0.19), which actually just updated the CAM software.

  • The best Format Possible Rip for Audio quality

    I am running Windows XP Professional with Media Player 11. I don't care about the size of the files because I have lots of storage and I don't like using my music on a laptop or device drive. I'm only looking for to get the best possible audio quality, because I want to play with audio equipment high-end. What is the best choice? Audio Windows Media without loss or WAV Lossless? Thank you.

    If you worry as marking, then I would certainly recommend WMA Lossless. WAV very bad support of marking - WMP wrote only WAV files once tags during extraction, and they cannot be changed more thereafter. This can cause problems in the future, for example, when moving the files to another PC. For more information, see http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/WAV.htm . Tim Baets

  • View Feature Pack - RTAV: how to increase audio quality

    Hi, we test see 5.3 with feature pack installed. RTAV is really great, especially with the webcam. But the audio quality of the microphone is limited to 8 khz and there seems to be a strict limit.

    There is a VMware KB explaining how to increase the video, but not for audio quality. Is there a way to change the audio settings for RTAV? And if not, why this very low limit? We understand 8 kHz is just OK for Skype calls, but it could be better.

    PS: We use Windows client 2.3 and invited is Windows 7 x 64. Thank you!

    Hello

    Unfortunately at this time - you are right that the audio is limited to 8 kHz, mono.

    This is something, that we thought do adjustable - but until your post - we have had no feedback that we had to and so it remains at this since the original sampling rate.

    Would you be willing to explain your use case to better understand the needs and identify what kind of audio controls you would like to see.

    I can't promise we will be in work, nor provide a time scale, but given your comments will definitely help.

    Thank you very much

  • Audio quality on Satellite C55-A-1

    Hello

    I'm considering buying a laptop model Toshiba C55, C55-A-1 to be precise.
    However I'm a bit read comments and one or two people were not satisfied with the audio quality of the machine.

    I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with the series C55 and can comment on audio quality and the quality of president of these laptops.

    How do they get to watch a move, or listen to music?
    They produce audio undistorted clear?
    are they strong enough (given the fact that I wear a hearing aid because I have a terrible hearing).

    I have a Toshiba laptop at the moment, I have had for nearly six years and feel that it may be time for an upgrade.
    My current model is a P300-16 t and has served me very well.

    I would appreciate any advice and answers to the questions I asked, I thank you for reading and for any help provided.

    > However I head a little read comments and one or two people were not satisfied with the audio quality of the machine.

    + One of the two people was unsatisfied +: well, I put t appreciate these opinions.
    It turns out that you can not compare this notebook with a costly high range support or Playbook. You must always consider the value of price-ration.

    This series of portable was equipped with common standard designed speakers and you shouldn't compare the sound for laptop computers equipped with speakers harman cardon.

    But the laptop is supported by some sound effects called DTS Sound controlled by software pre-installed. This software enhances the sound quality immensely.
    In many cases, people are not aware of such a software and don t use.

  • The range of process buffers affect the audio quality?

  • hp beats audio quality

    I was hoping to ask for some advice on the poor quality of the sound I get from my new laptop (DV7-4069) Hp. Music played on it sounds bit deep & slender at best despite the presence of a subwoofer bass & audio beats technology. The parameters Panel audio beats Hp makes no difference significant in my opinion. I have naturally draw comparisons with my last laptop (Hp pavilion ze2000) which, with its altec lansing speakers have a fantastic audio quality. Makes me wonder what all the hype is around the hp beats technology unfortunately.

    Any suggestions to get a fuller, better sound? Thank you very much

    I just got my phone yesterday and I tried to figure why sounds audio beats like Doo - Doo.

    I found a way to make the balanced sound and not uber hectic.

    Go to Control Panel > sounds

    Click on the speakers and headphones > Properties

    Under improvements you can choose what you want to improve.

    I clicked on Bass Boost, Virtual Surround and collected Loudness.

    Next is the most important, click levels.

    When I first clicked it my bass was equal to-20 and my treble 4. 100% opposite poles and it was the default settings!

    I put my bass 4-0 and I hear not and crack or break. I'm happy now.

    You may also need to play with the EQ levels in the Interface bat to get straight for you, but the sounds of decent Beats Tour setting now.

    I hope this helps.

  • W500 Bluetooth poor Audio quality

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Bose Soundlink speaker bluetooth and have paired with my ipod touch and w500. IPod Touch sounds good, but the audio through the speaker to come via the w500 looks like it's cut, especially at the fort-normal listening level. The soundlink both the w500 have installed bluetooth driver updates. Clipping occurs even when the main (and iTunes/Spotify) volume are at least 50% of power.

    My question is if there is a way to reduce the 'power' of the bluetooth signal so it does not cause the speaker to distort. Audio read by the speaker through 3.5 mm of the w500 sounds great even at high volume.

    Thanks for any response.

    Hello!

    It's not the cut, clipping occurs in the analog world.

    In the case of Thinkpad Bluetooth - only low bitrate audio is probably set up for A2DP. So you get a large number of artifacts of compression and bandwidth.

    The solution to install a third-party Bluetooth Stack instead of Lenovo drivers.

    I had the same problem with my speakers wireless X 220 and Creative D200. The audio quality has increased considerably with the BlueSoleil software, but I could still hear a few distortions bit.

    Then I tried to install Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, it requires a few changes to the .inf file but can be done.

    The sound quality is now close to perfection.

    I hope that helps! Let me know if you need details.
