receive 'problem with playback device' with Skype.  When I go to the Control Panel on my pc dell under sounds, etc., there is no option of reading before it takes.  have spent hours on Skype and my pc. Help!

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.

Automatically diagnose and fix the audio problems and Skype webcam
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/Skype/

Method 2:
If the problem persists, I suggest that you make sure that speaker or headphones are selected by default.

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.

Hope this information helps. Answer the post with an up-to-date issue report to help you further.

  • Is there a problem with Skype, for now?

    Hello people.

    I run a G4 and 10.411 using an older version of Skype with a software patch that I found in one of the Skype topics on this site. It has been working fine for months. I do not use only audio video. I have a subscription to call land lines. The problem I have is that I can call and hear the person I called, but they cannot hear me. Is there a problem with Skype today? Or they made changes from today that do not allow to use the patch and an old version of Skype? Any information would be appreciated.

    I just found out that there were internet problems yesterday and today. According to me, which may have been the cause of my problems from Skype. Here is the response I got from my ISP tech guy when I sent him to see if there are problems of the internet this weekend: 'Yes.

  • What is the problem with kernel_task?

    Hello everyone,

    What is the problem with kernel_task?

    I explan: Macbook Pro early 2011 LION OS up to date.

    I bought 8 GB on China supplier, CRUCIAL...

    Well, I got a lot of kernel Panic. Usually, he is involved material, taken on my RAM, back is the original, so still have in the kernel_task to 300% CPU monitoring followed up to 500%...

    Well, I went back to a clean install, a manufacturing one, with nothing.

    Wish I 'd' diagnosis of the equipment, never went on, test it on safe mode, disable all extensions, then nothing:

    Sometimes the kernel_task crazy sometimes not...

    Good read a lot on the internet but nothing has worked... I went to the Apple store in DIJON, they do not have diag any hardware problem, and all my App are approved Apple.

    Used to play the eve online thought, therefore, the graphic chipset pourrait was damaged, so when it's too 'hot' the mac gets crazy... but I expected crazy restarts and that sort of thing.

    I bought a manual, there is no french support to the opening of Apple, but found nothing about my question.

    So what?

    I bought something conivient on Support and friability so today he's dead?

    What should do?

    If you still get the panic of the core, thanks to post separate 2 or 3 of the most recent as answers on this.

    Reports of kernel panic: "/ Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports".

    http://support.Apple.com/kb/ht2546>

    http://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT200553>

    The panic report should have "panic" in the name of the file.

    Kernel panics tend to come from 2 sources

    • Material:
      • 3rd party RAM is the most common.  Replace or return the original is usually the solution.  Crucial and MacSales.com were 2 of the most reliable sellers for the initial quality and guest without question of replacement.
      • Broken USB cables or USB devices have turned up as the 2nd most likely material number.  Usually remove all USB devices, or replace the keyboard and USB mouse to see if it's one of those existing.
      • There are a few Macs with graphics chips that have failed.  I don't know that they exist, but do not know what model Mac had these chips.
    • Software
      • antivirus protection.  It is the number 1 most panicked related software cause.  More OS X does not need antivirus, because it has its own built-in protections http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg-builtin/>.
      • Other core 3rd party extensions are a distant 2nd.
      • NOTE: not all 3rd party kernel extensions are causing problems, but when there is a kernel panic, it's the first thing to look at.

    If run kernel_task is often caused by core 3rd party extensions.  It can be caused by an application program, but then the Applications-> Utilities-> Activity Monitor show "As" an application that consumes a lot of CPU, disk IO and network IO in collaboration with the kernel_task using lots of CPU.  If there is no application burns the CPU at the same time, so it is almost always a 3rd special part of the kernel that was originally the use excessive CPU kernel_task.

    Start in safe mode is usually a test to see if 3rd party extensions are part of the case.  But in safe mode is not how you run your system, because it also loads less advanced graphics drivers and other components.  Safe mode is very conservative, but it's a great way to see if the 3rd party software is at fault and have started when 3rd party software panic the system at boot.

    The contributors to the forum long strongly warn against getting 3rd party anti-virus, cleaners Mac and additions increasing.  This class of 3rd party additions have shown time and time again to really harm performance, remove things they shouldn't and cause a kernel panic.  Especially right after an OS X update to a new version.

  • the problem with the wi - fi does not work on windows 8.1

    Hello dear forum users (sorry for the English, use a translator)

    I have a laptop HP Pavilion dv6-7055er, 8.1 Windows 64-bit

    Card Broadcom WiFi 802.11b/g/n 1 x 1 4313GN worked on windows 7, but fails on windows 8.1. Tried to find the driver on the broadcom , but not found. Device Manager indicates that the problem with a PCI device. Specifies no problems with the Wi - Fi adapter.

    What could be the cause and how to fix it? Thank you!

    It seems that your WIFI adapter is not supported by Windows 8.1

    There are a few options available.

    The first and simplest is to purchase a USB wifi adapter to plug into one of the USB ports on the laptop. I have a dual ASUS USB-AC56 band that meets the 802.11ac specification.

    The second option will be to take a look at the installed optional wifi adapters to see if they have Windows 8.1 supports, buy one to replace the Broadcom card installed with.

    Ok. The two following adapters are compatible with your laptop and Windows 8.1. They have a BIOS support.

  • What is the problem with my iMac mid-2011

    Hello

    Need help find out what is the problem with my iMac to mid-2011.

    Yesterday during a reboot it just never came to life.

    On turning the power on, I get the RINGTONE to start and that's it. The screen is totally black. Nothing behind tried with a torch.

    VRAM rearmament so far I tried repeatedly, unplug and plug, all kinds of combinations of keys in the carillon and nothing.

    Connected to an external monitor and shows nothing of too - no signal.

    Any way that I can know what is wrong with it before sending it to the service tech? I suspect bad graphics card but how do you ensure?

    From what you describe, it looks like a hardware issue that Apple will only be able to resolve, but not to despair immediately.

    Read it please get help with graphics issues on external displays connected to your Mac - Apple Support.

    I know that the title and subject are not suitable to your concern, but buried in this document is the following passage that contains three links describing the steps to follow.

    If you can not change the resolution of your screen because you see no image, restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.

    If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.

    That first, then write again for additional suggestions if you are still having problems.
