Skype cannot find my sound card

Skype cannot find my Sound card - when I run the test of the Echo - it I heard say 'Hello' then it dies.

I have a brand new Thinkpad (T420), Windows 7, internal camera and microphone, Windows loaded all drivers.

I tried to find the communication helper.exe someone suggested, disable it - can't find it.

I hope someone can help!

Thank you-

Sorry - it took me a while to get to try everything.

I tried all that and it didn't work.  Then I found the 'Lenovo' tools/help - no matter what and let this process of updating everything, and now it works.  I'm guessing it drivers that needed to be updated, but I'll probably never know.

I wonder now if I have to go back and "A" check that you have suggested, although it works.  It doesn't seem to be a good idea to allow applications to take control of my speakers and microphone - but I do not know!

Thank you!

  • Skype cannot access the sound card

    I am running windows vista Home premium with service pack 2.  I have a problem for a long time with Skype not being able to access my sound card.  I had technicians to look at the problem, I searched the web, and nowhere to find someone who has an idea of what is the problem.  To be clear;  There is NO PROBLEM with the sound using ANY OTHER application.  It is ONLY Skype, who seems to have a problem.  I looked at the settings, I've updated the drivers, I tried in vain to seek answers or advice from Skype.  Anyone has a suggestion for me?

  • How to find the sound card in my hp all in one computer 3520?

    Hello

    Please let me know how I can find the sound card in my computer and I need to add another sound card to record the audio cables my music playing in my electric piano?

    Thank you very much!

    Carmela

    Carmela, welcome to the forum.

    What is the make and model of electric piano?  I would like to look at the specifications to see if there is a way to connect it to your computer via a USB 2.0 port.  I explain why it's necessary information below.

    The sound card is integrated into the motherboard of your computer.  This is the "Illustrated Parts & Service card" for the computer.  P. 2, it shows the "system board components."  It shows a Line Out jack, but no Line In connector.  The best way is to connect your piano to computer Line Out connector on it to a Line In connector on the computer.  In addition, there is no slot for a dedicated sound card.

    Once I have the model of the piano, I will try to help connect you to the computer.

  • error message "cannot find your sd card, it can show abnormal."

    Hi ~

    I wanted to transfer my data from computer to droid but error message pop up, "cannot find your sd card, it can show abnormal" after l had clicked the button mount. So I cannot access to move my date for the droid here. I search in google and always found no right answer.

    I also checked in the system settings and space total is always available 14.83 GB. why it does not find the sd card that is alreay in the phone.

    Please let me know what to do. (My computer is MS xp professional 2002)

    If you get all your applications in the market so you don't have to check that the unknown sources box.  This setting is to be able to install an app that you don't get in the market.  If you want to look at your files on the SD card of your phone, you will need a file manager.  Personally, I like "Astro File Manager".  There are others available, but that's who I love.  If that does not answer your question please post again.  I think that I responded well.

  • How can we find our sound card?

    We have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit with all updates.  However, we have several questions at the present time.

    1. the little bullhorn in our taskbar has a red "X" next to it, and when we go over it, he said: "The Service Audio does not work."
    2. Windows Media Center does not show anything.
    3. we tried to not follow the 'no sound' repair process.  Our Device Manager shows 5 'NVIDIA High Definition Audio"and 1"Realtek High Definition Audio".  One of these is a sound card?  Otherwise, how to locate and correct?
    Any input/help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

    To take your points one by one:

    (1) RTM = read the manual

    (2) Please reread my solution - re - install the audio drivers. By reinstalling them the sound service is enabled, you will not have to dirty you "get under the hood. This will BE you.

    (3) by using the no sound repair process is not the end all and fix what it claims to be.

    (4) say you that you have a red x on the speaker. This means that there is no or no audio device installed or, depending on your case, a service has been stopped. Your headset may work, but I bet you have no sound coming through it right now.

    I gave you the easy way - re - install the audio driver package, unless of course you want to start mucking around ;-) with services, etc.  Here's how:

    Click Start | Type of services | Click on Services (NOT services.exe) | Scroll to the bottom of the window that opens to the Audio Services | Right-click on it. has chosen properties | It should read auto in the center of the small window that opens - if it does not use the small scale/arrow down to change the option. below to read on the road - if she does not change select began. Apply | Okay and re - start. You make it sound.

    Simply reinstall the audio drivers, IMHO would be simpler than the above, which is really a last resort if you know too much about computers...

    WMP will not work either, you have no audio working device, until he can play? Nothing.

    See you soon,.

  • Skype can not detect my sound card

    If I talk to my friends with a headset on Skype while I play games with them. So, when I go to play Starcraft 2. When the loading screen appears, the audio going to the speakers. Then I disconnect and reconnect my helmet. He goes into the helmet for a second until its return to the speakers. I try again and dies all the sounds. In the caller group, after clicking on call quality info, Skype says "cannot detect your sound card." The volume control on the toolbar says "The Service Audio does not work." On the start menu, I type in its research program, and when I click it, it invites me with "Audio Service not running... You want to enable the Windows Audio Service? "After you click Yes, the sound is catering to the speakers. I reconnect the headset, and it goes to the headset for a second until its return to the speakers. I try again, and all the sounds dies. However, this problem is solved after the closure of Starcraft 2. If someone could solve this puzzle for me, it would be much appreciated.

    It would be best if you contacted Skype support team regarding this issue.

    They are experts in the field of your request and would be in a better position to answer your concerns. You can contact them through this link:

  • Does not DETECT THE SOUND CARD / laptop INSPIRON 1501

    I have an INSPIRON 1501 laptop and have had problems with the sound for some time. When I watch movies, the sound is there. When I Skype, I can hear, but the other party can't hear what I'm saying. Skype can't detect sound card.

    What I've done so far:

    I went to control PANEL and then MANAGER of DEVICES, OTHER DEVICES. Here, I have only one BASIC DEVICE SYSTEM option with a yellow sign. I right click on properties, then under GENERAL clicked REINSTALL DRIVER, but Windows could not find driver software.

    I also tried option SOUND, VIDEO and GAME CONTROLLERS in the DEVICE MANAGER. There is only one HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DEVICE option and it is not marked.

    Advice I have to install find the sound card.

    Thanks for all your advice beforehand.

  • Satellite A200 PSAE3: Windows XP Home edition do not recognize the modem and sound card

    Hi all!

    I can't understand what is the problem with my Satellite A200 (PSAE3)... I downloaded all the files on the right of the Toshiba Download Center, updated the BIOS to WXP but XP still not find any sound card or any modem. He isn't finding a device with a "?" question mark on this...

    There are so many different drives, I tried, but no one has changed the situation...
    Anyone has any advice?

    Thanks in advance,

    ciroopi

    Well, I found the solution to the problem! :)

    so, I write these verses down for anyone who might know the same problems:

    as usual, strictly follow the 'Toshiba A200 Installation sequence' found on the TOshiba driver download page.
    as he [I jumped no useful installation programs]

    I advice restart you each time you install a component, in order to have under control the whole Exchange.

    1 Windows XP Service Pack2 (RTM) - of course ;) -.
    [...]
    DirectX V9.0c 5 (SP2)
    Windows Media Player 10 V10.00.00.4036 6
    [...]
    10 Microsoft .NET Framework V1.1.4322 (SR1)
    11 Sun Java 2 Runtime Environment V1.6.0
    12 Intel ICH8M Chipset utility V8.2.0.1014
    13 Intel VGA driver 6.14.10.4833 965GM

    Note that driver VGA, the ATI we too, was also a difficulty - in fact, I don't know what it would have done - for the AUDIO sound card.
    You may have read in the installation dialog box.

    Moreover, I do not know if you must install the sun java, .NET framework and WMP version that displays the list, versions that are OLDER than the most recent, but just to be sure, download the form versions THAT NET.

    at this point, you should see "unknown PCI device" in the unknown devices in the system control panel.

    14 Realtek ALC268 Audio Driver V5.10.0.5433

    for realtek, I suggest you download the driver from the zip from the realtek download page; Once extracted from the latest version for desktop or a temp directory, I suggest to install before all the patch KB888111 you might find in the \WDM_Rxxx\MSHDQFE.

    then restart.

    for now, you should not see the "unknown PCI device" no more where it was before, but under the "system devices", like her, where you could also end the "Intel PCI Express Root Port", "Pci Bus" and so on [ja? m saying this to you because ja? m Italian aid of XP, and I don't remember the exact English names...].

    Now, install the audio drivers by using the setup.exe that you find in the \WDM_Rxxx directory.
    It should reinstall the kbfix and install the new drivers.

    Reset.

    After the reboot, nothing happens, but...

    .. see the "unknown pci device" menu - here? m not sure the name but the one with the exclamation mark in the 'system devices' - select 'Properties' and then 'driver' and 'update driver'. Let XP find the NOT on the net. tell XP to look for "Video and Audio Controller, game" [you know, the English entry that usually stands for device audio and similar] and he must find a CORRESPONDING driver, which is the "MICROSOFT UAA BUS DRIVER for HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO".
    If XP don't select this driver by itself, you should look for "\windows\system32\DRIVERS\hdaudbus.sys".

    After that, XP automatically detects ALL audio devices and install the correct drivers.
    In addition, it now the entrance to the modem, modem to install the separate driver, that we could find in down in the "list system", like her, on the Toshiba download page.

    So, hope this helps!

    See you soon,.
