Skype no sound during the first call, a constant buzzing afterwards.

Hello

I'm running Debian unstable, and I've recently updated my system after several months of not doing (the last time was before the latest version of Debian). Once the upgrade is finished, I noticed that Skype (I have 4.2) had ceased to work properly with the following symptoms:

  • If I make a call immediately after the start of Skype, I get no sound. I can see in the controls of PulseAudio that Skype has opened an output stream, and yet nothing comes out the speakers. The microphone, on the other hand, works fine (the other part of the call confirmed that they could hear me).
  • If I can put an end to this call and try to start another one, without leaving Skype first, a buzzing begins at the time the call is trying to produce a sound. The buzz persists even after that I ended the call and indeed persists until I have quit Skype.

Since I've updated many packages at once, it is virtually impossible to tell what package updates may have caused this. In addition, the problem is specific to Skype; all other sound generating programs work very well. In any case, I would be happy to provide you with additional information that might help.

Thank you

Vasilis

I actually "solved" this by running Skype from the command-line in the following way:

PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC = 30 Skype

It is still is not ideal because it does not work out of the box, but it does the trick. However, in the meantime, it stopped recognizing my webcam, so things aren't great yet. :-(

  • Other results: preliminary report does not properly during the first run in a loop

    I have an unusual problem with NI TestStand 4.1. I have a loop For and it contains, I have a call from sequence configured as a test of numerical limit. This test is configured to report additional results. All other results are preconditioned test cases. Here's the unusual part: during the first iteration of the loop, the test passes yet additional results for the parameters of all inputs are reported (output parameters are not presented at the time, but more on this later). Spend all additional this test iterations in the loop For and additional results are not reported.

    Regarding output parameters... If a test fails I'm expecting (input and output parameters) results to report. However when I encounter a failure only the additional results that are output parameters are displayed on the test report. Input parameters are not reported.

    If anyone else has experienced this? My expectation was that all additional results would be declared in case of failure. In addition, in the absence of a failure I expect not to see additional results. Thanks in advance!

    The short answer is that the condition of additional results for input is evaluated before it's called the subsequence, so that it uses the value of the previous iteration Step.Result.Numeric (or by default on the first).

    You can see this described as stage 15 in the following link:

  • Satellite L500-1ZR - battery died during the first installation

    Hello

    I really hope someone can help me.

    During the first time I started my new Toshiba Satellite L500-1ZR battery died and my laptop turns off. I was in the middle of the installation and now when I start it, it gives a word of warning: "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error." Windows Setup cannot continue. To install Windows, click OK to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. "However, when I click OK it restarts and I find myself the exact same caveat. I tried F2 and F12 to see if he had options to do a startup repair and also I inserted a disc on which I downloaded a hardware configuration, but it won't work.

    Anyone got some ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi belisu,

    The advanced boot menu, you can access via the F8 key before Windows starts.
    With the F2 and F12 button, you can access the BIOS menu and start.

    So try to use the F8 key to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and try to start the Windows repair option. It starts from Toshiba HARD drive recovery and restore settings factory.

    Good luck! :)

  • blank resource visa info during the first round

    Hi all

    I am trying to run the pilot of 6100 fluke on a fluke remote 6100.  When I run the initialization of the remote device, I always get the following error message:

    VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF000E) the given reference of session or the object is not valid.

    I followed the problem and saw that the visa being passed resource name contains no valid information (see below).  That is not sensible, since when I select the name of the resource from the drop-down list, the program has clearly recognized the remote device.  Why the program allow the user to select the resource of visa but won't visa valid for driver information?

    This error occur only during the first inning.  If the user run the program again, the error disappears.  Can anyone help?  Thank you!

    Yik

    When the program is run for the first time, visa name contains valid information:

    General

    The resource name of the canonical VISA = blank

    Visa refnum = white

    Session ID = 0

    I/O timeout = 0

    Type = 0 INTF

    Value = empty

    Stop? = True

    Condition

    session valid? Fake

    Instr is? = False

    Stop? True

    AHA!

    You select the resource from the drop-down list BEFORE the start of the loop?  An SR might help

  • How to change the first call number

    Hello

    is it possible to change the number of the first call in VSM9? We would use a number like 300000 instead of the number 1.

    Kind regards.

    It certainly is!

    In the administration module, there is a page called 'Reset the references' under the section 'system '.

    On this page, you can reset the benchmark for almost any table in the system.

    Find "Call number" and update the value of the value of your next call number and press save.

    A word of warning: you must be careful when you use this page that you do not set the value to something less than the largest number of current appeal.

    If you do that you will end up with all sorts of primary key violation error.

  • Geocoding takes VERY long for the first call in each session

    Hello

    We are moving to a system of very short response time where the user sends a query via mobile phone to our based Oracle server and the response THAT SMS must return a list of points of interest at a certain distance from the mobile phone.

    Previously we were using Oracle 9i, now we went to 10g (EE 10.2.0.4.0). Given that 10g supports geocoding out of the box, we intend to use it. What we are experiencing, this is when we create a new session, and then the first geocoding/reverse_geocode call takes about 1 minute in our test environment (that means 100% CPU load on the side of Oracle Server), the following calls are in the [http://0.1.. 0.6] second intervals. We only use sdo_gcdr.reverse_geocode () and sdo_gcdr.geocode () procedures.

    In a space book, we found:
    + "Note: the first call to a function of geolocation in a session requires several time (is longer) than subsequent calls." +
    "+ Is because the function must load and analyze arrays of profile". +

    Profile of tables do not change, why is he not analyzed at the start of the RDBMS and only once, not for each session?

    Is there a solution?

    Kind regards

    The patch that I suggest is precisely to allow the geocoder to work effectively in many countries. Its effect is to only load the profile for the country being geocoded. If profiles are loaded progressively as needed, avoiding the High overload at the beginning. With this patch, the first geocode a meeting is second.

    The time you specify (a minute for the first geocoded in a session) clearly indicate a problem. If this problem is not with bad indexes on the table of the region, you can check the box caching (CACHED_ADMIN_AREA_LEVEL in GC_COUNTRY_PROFILE should be 0).

    I think yiou need to capture a complete SQL trace of this first geocoded, so we can diagnose accurately what is happening.

  • sound distortion during the phone call sbh52

    Hello

    I have a SBH52 connected at a Xperia Z3c.

    I noticed that sometimes the sound of the call, I hear the headset is crackly and distorted - like robotics.

    I then hang up the conversation and remind the person to a normal sound quality. Do this step resolves the issue.

    It is not that the handset is too far if the connection fails because of the distance.

    And sometimes I more frequently since the Android update to 5.1.1 even if it happened when I had installed 5.0.2.

    The music is not affected, it still sounds perfect with no drops of conncection or buffering, always of the same Z3c.

    All the world had the same experience?

    OK, good luck, and we maintain.

    Several times I made a call on my iP6 (IOS9) and tour on the speaker so that others might listen/talk.  Unfortunately, the sound quality was so bad that we could not understand the other person, so I decided to turn the speaker off. and continue with the phone to my ear.

    Never could understand how do.  I've been preoccupied to kill the phone call if I did too.

    Press the button that you used to activate the speaker during the call, if necessary

    It will bring up a menu of all the devices, you can send the call at that time - bluetooth, car, iPhone

    You can choose whoever you want and call hovers over seamlessly

  • Error-50103 during the VI call for the second time

    I have a main VI who, after the initial installation, called a VI that reads and writes several times to a data acquisition (USB 6356). This VI subroutine is called several times for each of the stages of the program. On the first pass through, there is no problem. During subsequent calls to the sub VI, however, it throws error-50103. I've identified the task that resolves this error. I made sure to do a self-cleaning on the task, create the task outside of loops and stop and clear the task after all the iterations are performed. To check if it is only the following calls may cause the error, I created a simple VI who just ran the sub VI twice now, and there are no errors.

    Any ideas on what is causing my problem or why it does occur during subsequent calls to my VI more complex?

    A picture of the frame and the task which gives me the number is attached.

    Thank you!

    I finally found the problem, although it was not the task that LabVIEW had identified. The problem task was a separate sub - VI who was called from the main VI and the Subvi that threw the error. I got this task stopped and cleared and it's not like he has over the matter.

    Thanks to all who have contributed.

  • void / buttons vi of the single of structure event during the first round.

    I have a project that contains separate programs. In the past (for 15 years), I develop a 'main Menu' which uses a structure of producer-consumer (events). The user selects "Program 1" says event loop of consumer to open "program 1". Program one opens, running tests, exit button returns the user to the main Menu. All programs are maximized, open front audio, closed when finished, etc.

    It is the first project that I did in LV 2013 as it and now it does not work. If I go back to the main Menu and reinstate the program 1, none of the operator buttons don't market, which are supported in a loop of event also structure/consumer.

    No variable is passed to and from the main Menu. Each separate program uses the structure of consumption of the producer with an additional of 10 ms loop that reads/writes on DAQmx tasks. All tasks are closed and removed to exist, the queues are closed.

    I'll continue searching for a solution in the discussion forums and knowledge base but if someone sees what I'm doing wrong, please let me know!

    Thank you.

    I put this little sequence before I call the initialization block and now it works... Usually I initialize my variables in the block of initialization, but for some reason that this program doesn't. My producer loop check for "first time" so that they do not give up so I don't know why it has to be added.

    Seems to work but I'm going to run the whole project a couple of times to make sure.
