Echo detected when using skype software - can anyone help?

Hi, can anyone help?
I've detected an echo when using skype software.  This occurs through the computer of the person I'm speaking to, so that when they speak, an echo comes back to them half a second later.  I'm wondering if the speakers and microphone on my laptop are located too close together and the microphone is retransmitting sound from the speakers?  My laptop is an HP mini 110. 
Is there anything I can alter through my audio settings to stop this happening?
Any advice is appreciated!

I have a Mini 110 that performs beautifully with Skype (no echo, etc).  I have two other HP systems that don't do anywhere near as well.  I did tweak the graphics card on mine, which tremendously improved the video.  However...we are talking sound here, so I'll list the settings on my 110 for you to compare to yours:
I'm sure you already know how to find the settings, but...in Skype, do Tools>Audio Settings
Microphone:  set at about 45% with Automatically adjust microphone settings checked
Speakers:  set at about 75% with Automatically adjust speaker settings checked
Like I said, my Mini is a jewel.  I wish I could say the same for my G60-535DX.

  • I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?

    I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?
    The firewire port reads the dj software and I can hear music playing through the sound card when I plug my headphones into it but there is no signal to the hardware (my dj mixer).
    I have reset the firewire by turning off my mac book pro for a few hours and can see the sound card device in the fire wire section after clicking on the apple icon on the top left corner of my mac.
    My dj mixer works on another mac computer with the same soundcard and different firewire cable.
    Hope someone can help
    Thanks

    kmiddlet88,
    yes, it could be due to nearly anything listed in your kernel extensions, startup items, launch daemons, launch agents, or user items above. Please check all of your installed third-party software to make sure that the versions which are installed on your MacBook Pro are compatible with Mavericks; uninstall every software package which isn’t Mavericks-compatible. After you’ve done that, boot into Safe mode, and see if you still get the beach ball of doom there. If it doesn’t appear there, restart normally and see if it appears then.

  • Hi, I have an iPhone 4 which rings people when it is locked, whether or not in my pocket.  I always lock it when not using it.  Can anyone help? It is calling random numbers, not the last person or anyone even recently called on my recents list. Thanks

    Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

    Solution below.
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • I have a MacBook running a 10.7.5 OS.  Of late it has started hanging, especially when I use Safari.  Can anyone help?

    I have a MacBook that's four years old, runs on iOSX 10.7.5 but of late has been hanging, especially when I use Safari.  Can anyone help?

    Carolyn,
    I searched my whole system and couldn't find
    com.apple.systemuiser.plist
    So that is a mystery.  However the part about:
    Go back to System Preferences > Network
    Make sure the box is selected next to:  Show Wi-Fi status i menu bar. Solved the problem.  Somehow the box had been unchecked.  Gremlins I guess!
    Thanks so much for your help.

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

    You could just try changing your Input Sources under System Preferences>Language & Text:
    But I kind of doubt that's going to work. It may be a hardware problem or a system problem. If you take it into Apple they might be able to determine which and might advise a reinstallation of System software. I would take it to an Apple Store or an AASP but, first, make sure that you have a backup just in case they suggest a clean install of the system.
    Good luck,

  • My ipad has a message saying a movie rental has expired and i cant remove it so am unable to use my ipad. can anyone help?

    Hi
    My ipad has a message saying a movie rental has expired and I cant remove it, so am unable to use it. Can anyone help?

    Hi there, this problem has probably been resolved now, but I must say that I came across these posts today as I had the same problem, my old e mail kept popping up, but all sorted now!  Old Apps are not tied to the old Apple ID, honestly!
    Rudegar is so right, all you do is go the SETTINGS/iTunes & App Store, then select `Apple ID` `Sign Out` then you get the chance to enter your new ID, and it worked a treat!
    Good luck with anyone else with this problem, as I spent so long on this, really stupid!
    PS you`ll need to again verify bank details

  • HT1349 I have installed and uninstalled iTunes on multiple occasions, but keep getting the error message that "Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes ..... Error 2 (Windows Error 2)".  Can't find any useful solution.  Can anyone help?  Pleeee

    I have instlled and uninstalled iTunes on multiple occasions but iTunes fails to start with message "Apple Application support is required to run iTunes .......... Error 2 (Windows error 2)".  Most most frustrating.  Can anyone help, pleeeeeeease!!

    iTunes "Apple Application Support is required... Error 2" and possible fix.
    Hi Redgilly (and others).
    I just resolved this on Win Vista (should apply equally for Win7 too). Please uninstall iTunes before proceeding though. I'll walk you through the process I followed, if you like you can jump straight to the Solution section.
    Problems:
    The initial error during the installation of iTunes was:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken='1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorarchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x8007054F
    The error (after installing iTunes) when trying to run iTunes was:
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2).
    After trying various fixes around the forums I came across this MSKB article, which relates to the first installation error:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2688946
    This lead me to trying to install MS Visual C++ but I received the following error trying to install that:
    Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type=”win32”,version=”8.0.50727.762”,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b”,processorArchitecture=”amd64”’. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070BC9. Assembly interface: IassemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, component: {837BF1EB-D770-94EB-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}
    Note: The installation of VC++ rolls back when it fails.
    Solution:
    Through this error I found this MSKB article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414
    The Automated MS "Fix It" msi package didn’t work.
    Note: Please backup your registry first (see the above MSKB article for instructions).
    I opened the registry and (as instructed in the MSKB article) deleted the following keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\
    PendingXmlIdentifier
    NextQueueEntryIndex
    AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
    Reboot and reinstall iTunes.
    I hope this helps.

  • I purchased a album and sent it via icloud to a friend. She either did not receive it or does not know how to download it.  We both use iPads. Can anyone help? Thanks

    I ordered a album via icloud and sent it to a friend. We both use iPads. She has not received or does not know how to download the album. Can anyone help please?

    Your friend should have received an email announcing the gift that you sent to her.

    Perhaps she did not receive the gift. You can resend it if you like.

  • My ipad will not rotate when in mail. Can anyone help please?

    My I Pad will not rotate when I am in Mail. It is fine in safari and all the other apps. Can anyone help.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Some how my iPad2 is in talk mode andn it has froze up - and now I can't use it. Can anyone help me ?

    My iPad2 is in talking mode and has froze up. And it wont let me do anything. Do I need to take it to an Apple store ( which is out of town). Or do I need to reformat it ? I don't own or understand the cell phone, so I'm very new to this (ipad - technology stuff... And I don't know what to do. Can anyone help me out PLEASE? Thanks !

    If you have VoiceOver turned 'on', then you need to touch or tap the field that you want to use/select and it should get a box around it ; then double-tap that field to activate/type it.
    So if you are on the 'slide to unlock' screen, you first need to tap the 'slide to unlock' button to highlight it (it should get a box around it), then double-tap it to unlock it. Then for your passcode tap the digit that you want and it should get a box around it; then double-tap that digit to type it; and similar for the other three digits in your passcode. Once you've entered your password you can do the same (i.e. touch to select, double-tap to activate) to gradually get into  Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off.
    The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
    Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
    So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither
