Can't get Headphone and Mic to work with Skype

Hello, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro and I am running OS 10.8.3. I am trying to get my USB headphone and mic to work with Skype but I'm not having any success. I have tried several different headphones with the same result. I finally phoned Skype support and they told me that there are some registry settings that are corrupted and that they could install the proper ones on my MBP for $149.99. I told them I did not want to spend that kind of money but I am curious if anybody else is having that issue and if anybody has a solution. Is it true that my registry values could be corrupted causing this issue. If I start up Parallels and open Skype in Windows 7 I have no issues whatsoever using the headphone. It works every time but I cannot get it to work on the Mac platform. I would appreciate any advice anybody might have. Many thanks in advance.

What are the system requirements of your headphones & mics? It's possible they are not compatible w/Macs and/or your current OS system.

For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

Can't get brand new WRT610N to work with Billion 7404 VGOM

I already posted this on whirlpool, here are my posts:
Hey All,
Just bought a LinkSys WRT610n and I can't get the darned thing to work with my Billion 7404VGOM.
At the moment I just want to network my pc to the LinkSys, LinkSys connects to my 7404 which is connected to the internet.
I've tried using DHCP automatic connection with the WRT610N, but it just doesn't talk route any traffic to the 7404...and thus nothing to the internet.
All cables and plugged in correctly, I tried the auto setup also but just can't figure the thing out.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Ken
I can't ping my 7404 modem from my PC when connected through the WRT610N. I can ping the WRT610N successfully, but when trying to ping the 7404 the WRT returns "Destination Host Unreachable"
7404 is function fine if I just connect to it directly though.
I don't understand, even If I couldn't get DHCP info working or syncing between both devices, it should still be able to ping it.....?
Right, I just plugged in my netbook via network cable into the "Internet" port on my WRT610N. I try to ping the router using this (it doesn't get any DHCP settings from the router, so I just set it manually and use the WRT as default gateway ip)...I just get request timed out.
I should be able to do this right?....starting to think my WRT610n has a dodgy "Internet" port.
Any suggestions?

If you connect your notebook via network cable into the "Internet" port on the WRT610N and if you ping the router it will not reply...also your Notebook will get any DHCP setting with this connection...However what exactly is Billion 7404VGOM ? A modem i guess!! Who is your ISP ?

I've reviewed all network, printer, phone settings

If it is not compatible then you will need to look at the appstore to find something compatible to be able to print.

My iphone 4 microphone won't record sound on video clips and doesn't work with Skype

This is the first time I have used the forum. My iphone4 microphone won't record sound on video clips, and won't work with Skype.

I have checked that I have the latest software. I have restarted phone. I am not sure how to perform the other things you mentioned , restore and reset as new... Would I lose any data by doing these? Thanks for the reply.

I can not get 3D surround sound to work with my X-Fi and headhones please he

I have an X-Fi Xtrememusic soundcard and I have been unable to get possitional sound working consistantly with two sets of stereo headphones. I have the latest drivers installed and have creative audio console set to: headphones, game mode, CMSS 3D and I still have no possitional sound at all. Noises seem to come from above my head I can't tell right from left or forward from backward in other words I am completely lost as to were sounds are coming from in games. I used to be able to get possistional sound to function by changing headphones in the creative audio console to 2. or 4. speakers.
If I set the mode to 5. or higher the sounds in games (footsteps, weapons fire) would become heavily muted and hard to hear while I would gain better positional sound for other players and now this does not work at all. I have also tried disabling sync to windows control panel and changing its sound options and there have been no beneifts from doing so. In settings other then stereo headphones no sound was produced at all while others stopped sound coming from one of my headphone speakers. I am at a total loss I can not think of anything thing else to fiddle with.
My system specs: Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego, ASUS A8N-E mobo, 2GB DDR400 2.5CAS Buffalo ram, EVGA 7800GT CO, X-Fi Xtrememusic. No popping or crackling sound at least. Thank you you reading this.

Hay everyone thanks for the advise but i was finally told by one of the support personnel that I actually need the dri've bay insert that comes with the fidelity in order to get the cmss 3d to work with the headphones.
I only purchased the extreme gamer not the extreme gamer fidelity and that is why i cant get the cmss 3d to work but it still advertises on the box that you can use the cmss 3d and get that feature. :angry:? Should have done homework but i was out Christmas shopping and i went off of what the box advertised. This is very unusual for me to shop compulsi'vely. The funny thing is that everything else on the box that is advertised such as the increase of the CPU and the EAX HD features are able to be used. Im very upset about this because I particularly bought this card for the cmss 3d. I really don't know if i will ever recommend another Creative Product to any of the people i do computer repair or gamer builds for, unless this gets resolved and the only way to resolve this is to get the cmss 3D to work. By the way I did do a full reinstall even with clean boot so that isn't the problem. I'm really upset and ready to return this product to Best Buy unless this can be resolved. Any admin that comes across this please send me any ways of getting a hold of anyone that can help. Tks and hope yall had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[SOLVED] Can't get ccache and colorgcc to work together

Hi all,
Has anyone figured out how to get ccache and colorgcc to work at the same time? I can only get one or the other, but not both.
If I put them both in the path, with colorgcc first, then "g++" invokes colorgcc, which then calls /usr/bin/g++, skipping ccache.
If I put ccache first in the path instead, then running "g++" invokes ccache, which then calls /usr/bin/g++, skipping colorgcc for some reason.
Putting colorgcc back to first in the path, then editing /etc/colorgcc/colorgccrc means I can set the compiler paths to point to ccache. However then running "g++" invokes colorgcc, which calls ccache, but then ccache seems to call colorgcc again, which calls ccache, which calls colorgcc, etc, etc.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but I can't see how you tell ccache where the compiler binaries are located, as this seems to be the problem - ccache autodetects them, and always seems to pick the ones I don't want!
Any suggestions?

Ha, ok, as usual as soon as I post in a forum I stumble across the answer. Turns out there's a CCACHE_PATH environment variable you can use to tell ccache where to look for the real compilers. It doesn't seem to work setting this to point to colorgcc, but putting only colorgcc in the path, editing /etc/colorgcc/colorgcc to point to ccache, then setting CCACHE_PATH=/usr/bin seems to do the trick...
But if there's a better way please let me know!

Can't get Bose computer speakers to work with my Mac pro lion

I have just bought the Bose Companion 11 computer speakers for my Mac Book Pro. They are set up correctly (in the headphone jack) and they play my itunes music beautifully. However, when they are plugged in I get no sound from internet videos, etc. I have to take the plug out of my headphones jack and then I get the sound from my computer but not the speakers. Can anyone help ..I don't know what I am doing wrong...or how to get the Bose speakers to work with all my computer (internet content). I looked at system preferences and the Output says headphone port but the input says internal microphone (built-in).
Please help.
Thank You,
Karen

Don't worry about offending me...I am, admittedly, no computer whiz! I have had speakers before....but I took these in to Best Buy...with my computer (Where I bought them) and the "Geek" person plugged them in and they worked.
What we did notice was that the jack that goes into the plug just below the left speaker plug was loose. So I brought it home and it worked! Then tonight I turned on my computer and no speaker input, so I checked the back of the right speaker and that plug (if that is the right name?) had fallen out...so re-connected it and they work! So, I guess I may have to tape that plug in ...or what do you suggest??...so it doesn't keep falling out.
Thanks so much for answering me.

How can I get my Canon A620 to work with Windows 7

Just signed up here, ot the brightest with tech stuff. I'm trying to get my Powershot A620 to work with Windows 7. I'm guessing there's drivers I need to down load ? Will they be on the Canon website or on this help site ?
I'll keep looking around.
Steve

If you need photo software and don't have any you can download Canon software here.
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_a_series/powershot_a620#Dri...
But if you already have software you use there is nothing special you need. Ether connect the camera using a USB cable or remove the SD card from the camera and use a card reader (either an external one or the computer may already have one built in.)
If you decide to connect the camera via USB you don't need a driver; its built into W7.
