bad sound with Skype

I sign in Skype and I do a test call and the sound is very bad.

I use Microsoft lifecam, who has a microphone and a creative Sb Audigy DD80 as a sound card.

Hello

This only happens when you attempt to use Microsoft LifeCam Skype?

Step 1: Install the latest version of Lifecam and Skype software and check.

Step 2: Update drivers for the sound card.

  • Problem of sound with Skype only - HP Pavilion laptop Windows 7 x 64

    I have problems with the sound with Skype only - all other software that requires a sound work fine.  I don't hear my correspondent.  My Skype settings seem to agree and I get no error message.

    I run 7 x 64 window.  I have a laptop HP Pavilion G7.

    Any help?

    Hello

    Sorry, you have problems. For Windows 7, try this:

    Sign in to Skype. Click Tools at the top of the window, and then select Options in the menu drop-down. Click Audio settings in the left pane. Under the speakers, you can:

    • Use the Volume slider to adjust the volume.
    • Click on the arrow down in the drop-down menu to select the appropriate stakeholders.
    • Test the speakers by clicking on the green arrow next to the drop-down list of speakers.
    • Click on the link to make a free test call to make a test call.

    It may be a good idea to plug a headset as a test to see if it works. You don't need a headset with a microphone; Just use any headset allows you to listen to your music on your iPod. The nice thing about using a stereo headset is that you can always talk through the microphone on your computer, but only you will hear responses from your correspondents, and is as much your comments.

    Skype has a document of support practice that may help you: I can't hear my friend... (Windows desktop) .

    And now, the delicate question: it is possible that your friend accidentally cut his microphone? Or what is happening with all of your calls?

  • Satellite P500-127: microphone or sound does not work with Skype

    Hello, team Toshiba,

    Recently bought a new laptop.
    However the microphone or the (pebble connexant high definition) sound driver does not work correctly when you use Skype. Also read about in various forums such as the Skype forum.
    People ran into similar problems such as:

    -------------------------------------------
    Usually, we can speak of a little more than 20 seconds, but the call will be at a random time between 1 and 15 minutes. The strange part is that sometimes the quality of the call is good, but more often my friend can't get along * half of what I say * while I don't usually have a problem to hear what was said. The video works so my friend can see talking me but can simply not really hear what I say.
    Before the fall of the call usually freezes for a few seconds and then Skype crashes sometimes. We tried to talk together without the video, but the problem remains.
    ---------------------------------------

    I also found a suggestion by the toshiba service, just to simply increase the volume under the Panel etc, but it does not work either...

    Can you please help me on this one?
    Cannot use Skype at all as she just to boring for everyone I talk... The quality is fair to poor.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I have the Skype m user too and to be honest, everything works fine!
    I can use my internal webcam as well!
    But I m using Win XP with Skype

    I assume you are using Win 7 and Skype

    To be honest, I doubt s number of Toshiba laptop
    If it would be a matter of (audio driver) laptop so you have seen the same problems recording and creating audio files... but I doubt that will happen...

    Therefore, it must be a software problem possibly a combination of Skype, Win 7 and driver Conexant
    Who knows

    But as I said above my Skype works well with Win XP!

  • Chipmunk Squeaky sound on Skype mobile

    Hello

    The people that the word means a chipmunk who squeaks a little sound when I call them. I confirmed this by performing an echo test, and I was surprised to hear this sound piece sharp, fast and squeaky chipmunk to me. I use a Galaxy S4 4.4.2 with Skype 4.9.

    I tried to reinstall Skype, but it did not help. I then went down to 4.5 but the question was still there. I then upgraded to 4.9 back again hoping for the best, but always I hear a noise squeaky chipmunk.

    So, basically, I can't use Skype more.

    Can someone please help how to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    Believe that I thought about it - I had activated 'OK Google' of any screen - turn off back solved the problem.

  • When I talk on Skype, I hear no sound in Skype.

    I have just updated to Windows 10 and I had to reinstall Skype. It happened before I updated my OS so maybe it's a problem with Skype or my OS settings. Just to clarify, I'm not talking Windows setting that cuts my other sounds when I make a call on my computer. When I talk I can't hear the person I'm talking until I stop talking. It's almost like a walkie-talkie; so if I say something and the person is trying to say something about me I don't hear them at all. I just had this problem with Skype, so I guess it's that a Skype related question and I tried raising my specific problem on this forum and on google but I couldn't find a solution. Someone here has a solution to this problem?

    I'll leave that for someone else, but I've just updated my headphone drivers using the Logitech gaming software and it got rid of my problem.

  • Micro works not when using Skype. Problem is not with the microphone, but with Skype. Ive tried

    When you use Skype, my internal microphone does not work - friend says that he can not hear the voice, but he can hear other sounds - music on youtube for example. Ive tested the microphone on Skype Echo - it wasn't working at all. I tested it on a voice recorder - MIC was working properly. Also when I just started to use this laptop (3 days ago), I spoke with a friend through Skype for about 3 hours, and then he couldn't hear me suddenly annymore. If something is wrong with Skype. Computer consultant suggested me to contact Skype support technicians.

    In Skype, open Tools-> Options-> Audio settings. There is more than one option available in the selection box for Microphone?

    Hi BeverlyBowers,

    Facing any problem with the sound on the computer other than on Skype?

    Problem with playback device means that Skype cannot find a speaker or a headset that is properly configured on your machine in order to make a call.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to run the Fixit and check if it helps.

    a. go to Start and click on Control Panel.
    b. click on her, then a new window will open.
    (c) in the new window click on the tab "recording" and right click in the window and click Show disabled devices.
    d. now check if the speaker or headset is listed here and right click above and choose Activate.
    e. highlight the speaker or headphones and click on 'Set as default'.

    Method 3:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you install the latest audio drivers on the manufacturer's Web site and check if it helps.

  • video with Skype problems

    I use an Acer Aspire 3000 laptop with windows xp sp3 and I just bought a logitech C270 HD webcam. I use the 5.0 version of Skype. Whenever I'm trying to make a video call, I can't see the other person. They can see me. I don't see myself even in the preview video on Skype settings. The video box says video rendering problem. He says that I don't have a valid directx installed. I checked my system. I have DirectX 9.0. I even reinstalled it. Please help me with this.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hi suchik,

    · What is the version of the operating system that you have installed?

    · It is 32-bit or 64-bit?

    · The webcam works with other applications?

    To determine the version, you can check the link below: how to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or the 64 bit version of the Windows operating system: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827218

    1. in the Web of Logitech HD Webcam C270 site, it mentions only on version 4.0 of Skype or Skype 3.8. I suggest to downgrade the version of installed Skype and check the results.
