Lync 2013 stops responding when making audio calls

Lync 2013 desktop client in Windows 8.1 connected to Lync Server 2010
From my office workstation (Windows 7, Lync 2010 client, completely different hardware), from inside the firewall, I don't have any problems (IM, audio, conference, video, desktop sharing all work 100%).  At home, I haven't been able to make PC calls. 
I can see the status of my contacts in Lync, and contact them through IM, but as soon as I try to make an audio call, Lync stops responding.  I can, on occasion, connect and can receive audio, but I cannot be heard on the other end.
To place audio calls, I connect to my office workstation through remote desktop - the audio quality is terrible but it works.
I'm testing various configurations using the "Check Call Quality" function under Tools > Audio Device Settings.  I can hear a couple of beeps, or even a ring tone, once, but then it crashes again.  Waiting 10 to 15 minutes, it still
does not respond.
I am using Lync 2013 because 2010 wasn't available through MS Office HUP.  I checked the compatibility list, and I didn't think there would be a conflict between the two versions.
Would downgrading Lync to 2010 help?
I am not exactly a Lync expert, so I may have some of the setup wrong.  I'm hoping it's as simple as a server/connection setting that I've missed.  I'm using Automatic Configuration under Advanced Connection Settings.
Hardware specs:
DELL XPS 8500
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Realtek High-Definition ALC887 Audio
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Recon3D PCIe Audio Card
NVidia GeForce GTX 660 Graphics Card
According to Windows, all drivers are up to date.
I had a Logitech webcam installed.  I disconnected it and restarted the computer, to make sure it wasn't affecting Lync.

Hi,
Did the issue happen only for you or for multiple users?
Did the issue happen when one endpoint is internal and the other is remote or also happen when two endpoint external the company?
If it possible, please try to use another computer login on Lync client 2013 at home.
Please double check if you have configured DNS entry for Lync server Edge A/V service.
Here is a similar case may help you:

Please also double check the Edge external A/V port UDP 3478, TCP 50,000-59,999 and UDP 50,000-59,999 and make sure they are opened.

  • Why doesn´t music stop playing when making a call?

    Why doesn´t music stop playing when making a call?
    Shouldn´t that be automatic like it used to be in iOS6?

    Ok, I just realised that this only happens if the current page in iBooks has a video on it.  If the page has only text and images, there is no problem.
    I still think it is a bug though. If the video is not running, I don't see why the music player should be stopped. If I choose to start the video on the page, THEN the music player should be stopped.

  • Phone stops working when making/receiving calls. Screen turns off.

    Hi all..
    I just recieved my Pre3 Yesterday and everything seems to be working fine except that when I recieve or make calls, the screen turns itself off and stops responding, although the call continues to be made as normal.
    This means the only way I can hang up, or do anything, is to remove the battery and restart the phone!
    Does anybody have any ideas as to what I may be able to do?
    Im located in the UK by the way.
    Thank-you!
    Post relates to: HP Pre 3 (Unlocked EU)

    Hi,
    I had the same problem after my phone went for swim in a pool for a bit.
    I found on the web that I could do 3 things to see if it fixed it or not.
    1. Upgrade the Software Version. Mine is now at v31.002. I did the update using the Nokia Update Application running on my PC.
    Result: Did not fix the problem. Cost: Free
    2. Replace the Battery. I noticed that my battery didn't hold it's change very well even after 24 hours on the charger.
    Result: Did not fix the problem: Cost: $55NZD
    3. Replace the ear piece. Bought a Nokia replace part on ebay UK.
    Result: IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. Cost: $2.99UKD
    It was pretty easy to replace the ear piece, you just need a T4 philips screw driver and something (I used a plastic scraper used for cleaning my oven tray) that will slide in between the slider gap (I saw a quick demo on YouTube) to pop open the front cover when to take the 4 screws out. Just be careful with the plastic piece around the Navi button as it can easily pop-out and tricky to get back into place.
    So I hope this helps you.
    Cheers
    PS. This is actually a friends phone and I was seeing if I could fix it or not. He's now got a iPhone now so it's a spare one. )

    Please check if the screen sharing work by signing another Lync account on your computer.
    Sign in your account on another computer that sharing screen works for other Lync users.
    By comparing the result, we can locate whether the issue is related with your computer or your Lync account.

     Skype is crashing on Intel graphics driver. The error message indicates that the issue is with "Switching Graphics" (NVIDIA <-> Intel). There are no driver updates available for Windows 8.1 for your laptop on the Dell site. However, you can try to update the NVIDIA NVS 4200M driver directly from the NVIDIA site. http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/86814/en-us  

  • Excel and Word 2013 stop responding after "Save As"

    Hello-
    After the last set of updates (7/8/2014), my Word and Excel "stopped responding" when I attempted to "Save As" any document or spreadsheet that I was working on.  I tried multiple suggestions to no avail and finally ran Microsoft's
    uninstaller for Office 2013.  I then installed all updates EXCEPT any of the 7/8/2014 updates.  Then I started installing those one by one.  The one that causes the failure for me is KB2880987.
    Has anyone else run into this issue?
    Thanks,
    Jaylene

    Don't worry, the installation might have just corrupted your local profile files when it failed, I'm sure it would work on another computer. For me, Office works fine I just want that one update off my update list/mind.

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

  • On IPhone 5S, when making cell calls, it connects to FaceTime.

    On IPhone 5S, IOS 7.1.2, when making cell calls, it connects to FaceTime.

    Hey there siteshop,
    It sounds like you are still hearing the phone line ringing even after the person you call answers the line. I would try the troubleshooting outlined in this article:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
    https://support.apple.com/kb/TS3406
    Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
    Ensure that your software is up to date:
    Check for a carrier settings update.
    Check for an iOS software update.
    Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
    If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.
    If the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is on the Verizon network, dial *228 from the iPhone and select option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). The PRL determines the cellular towers the phone uses for cellular service, selecting those with the best signal strength.
    Reset the network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Try to make or receive calls in another location.
    Attempt to isolate to one network band:
    If you're having the issue on LTE, disable LTE, if possible, and try again.
    If you're having the issue on 3G/4G, disable 3G/4G, if possible, and try again.
    Contact the carrier to check the following:
    Your account is properly configured to use the specific iPhone that has the issue.
    There are no localized service outages.
    Your account doesn't have a billing-related block.
    Your calls don't have errors on the carrier system.
    Restore the phone as new.
    If the above steps don't resolve the issue, go to an Apple Retail Store, carrier, Apple Authorized Reseller, or contact AppleCare to send the phone in for service.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • HI I have an Iphone 3GS and the microphone jack works when I play music but not when making phone calls.   please help as I use it for conference calls

    Hi   I use my phone for conference calls and use the microphone jack to connect to speakers.      It doesnt work when making phone calls but when i play music on the phone the jack works with the external speaker.   

    Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
    BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

  • Safari stops responding when I try to bookmark (and other slow problems!)

    Two weeks ago my logicboard died, so I sent my ibook out to Apple for it to be fixed. Ever since I got it back this past Tuesday, my Safari has been extremely slow, but nothing else is wrong with my computer. Here are the problems:
    - The biggest issue is that Safari stops responding when I try to make a bookmark. The popup appears to select the bookmark's destination and to enter the name, but when you hit ok, the rainbow wheel comes up and it stops responding, so I have to reset Safari, and now I can't make new bookmarks at all.
    - It lags when it tries to open new windows, especially new tabs.
    - If a new page loads that scrolls at all, and then I try to scroll down, the wheel appears for several seconds until it can load the rest of the page. It's as though it gets stuck before it can scroll.
    - Sometimes when typing, it will also start to lag behind my typing speed, or if I try to click on a new field, it will not immediately allow me to type on occasion.
    All these things have never happened before I sent it out. I have reset my cache, and I have tried entering the open DNS addresses in my networks, which has improved loading speed, but hasn't fixed any of these problems. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I can fix anything?

    Try verifying the hard disk.
    Boot from your restore disk while holding down the C key until you see the Apple logo, then let go of the C key. You'll see an Installation window, select English. From the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click Verify. If DU reports errors, click Repair. If Disk Utility cannot repair the disk you have several options. One is DiskWarrior or
    TechToolPro If Disk Utility can repair any errors, go back to the Menu Bar, click Utilities/Startup Disk. In the Startup Disk window select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
    If you don't have a restore disk, try booting into Safe Mode

  • TS4079 Siri used to work fine when making mobile calls in Ecuador until yesterday, when the administration of Ecuador added an aditional number in all mobile numbers existing in Ecuador. Since then Siri is unable to make any mobile calls with any new numb

    Siri used to work fine when making mobile calls in Ecuador until yesterday, when the administration of Ecuador added an aditional number in all mobile numbers existing in Ecuador. Since then Siri is unable to make any mobile calls with any new number.Help
    I`ve tried restarting, rebooting, nothing works.
    The interesting thing is that SIRI can call to previous mobile numbers (without the new digit) obviously not connecting , and, can call to any other numbers as an office or home number. So the problem is the new digit in the mobile number

    Ecuador has added an extra digit to mobile phone numbers but apple wont accept 10 digit phone numbers so we cant use facetime or apple IM or verify our new phone numbers. ( and Siri won't work either!) I have contacted apple support online but can't request a call back as the apple system says our new phone numbers are invalid. I am going to phone them tomorrow and you should complain too at http://www.apple.com/support/contact/.  . The more people that bring this to their attention the faster it will get fixed

  • TS4185 Just downloaded FACETIME on my 4yr. olf Imac running Snow Leopard. When making a call to my friend's Imac all works correctly going both ways. When my wife calls me via Facetime from her Ipad, I cannot click on "accept"- not there?

    Just downloaded FACETIME on my 4yr. olf Imac running Snow Leopard. When making a call to my friend's Imac all works correctly going both ways. When my wife calls me via Facetime from her Ipad, I cannot click on "accept"- not there? When called by the Imac (newest), the "accept" or "reject" radio button appears for me to click and connect. On my wife's Ipad the two radio buttons always appear when a call actiivates Facetime and comes on?
    There is nothing I can find in "Preferences" in Facetime to turn that on or off. I suspect it has to do with having a more current operating system; that the "controls" are in the operating system? [I'm guessing] It's frustrating getting Facebook calls from several friends on Ipads! Any ideas...VFP

    I suspect it has to do with not having a more current operating system
    Exactly, what Apple is doing is leveraging new features only on newer OS X versions to force you to upgrade OS X to 10.7 or later.
    What they don't tell you is 10.7 or later will NOT run your PowerPC based software, some of it you can't get Intel versions like for perfectly working printers, scanners and games etc. So it can be a very expensive OS X upgrade to 10.7 or later with third party software.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also they don't tell you is the risk in bricking your machine if the update goes badly, so you have to have AppleCare in case that occurs so it's on them to fix it. Else your paying money to replace the logicboard or buying a new machine prematurely.
    A four year old machine can't have AppleCare, it's only good for 3 years from date of purchase new.
    Your machine came with a boot hard drive, it's usually got about 4-5 years of life on it, then it needs to be replaced.
    Also they don't tell you the newer OS X version has more abilities and features that causes your machine to slow down in performance, especially on older machines.
    Also they implement new, idotic and extremely fustrating new user interface features in a arbitrary "you take it or leave it" manner with little or no fall back method.
    So upgrading OS X is a gamble on older machines that otherwise would likely work perfectly fine for the next 5 years if one didn't need to have to mess with it.
    Since Snow Leopard has slightly over 25% OS X version market share, your still good for security updates etc for the next few years if you just want to stay where your at and be happy.
    OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
    The Lions are, well, not so welcome due to Scott Forstall retard UI issues, OS X Mavericks 10.9 is likely going to fix things a bit better.
    But basically what is occuring is Apple is trying to force a faster hardware upgrade cycle with the more expensive products by leveraging features on the smaller devices that expire sooner.
    Apple is a hardware company that leverages whatever it can to get you to buy more hardware, it's why they are as rich as they are.
