Mic works with SoundRecorder, but Not Skype

I've used Skype for years. Today, I can't get the microphone to work with Skype 7.4.0.102.
I can record using my headset mic with MS's SoundRecorder, but no sound seems to be detected with Skype. I tried restarting, but that didn't help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I made sure I had the latest Realtek HD Audio driver from my computer maker. I used the Realtek HD Audio interface to set the mic gain to +20 db and turned off audio effects. I also adjusted Skype’s audio settings, but Skype 7.5 still required me to SHOUT to be heard. (I’ve used Skype for 7+ years, so I’m used to making sure my mic is setup correctly before making a call.)
Thanks to a private Skype Community message from Capreolus, I was able to download the full-version of Skype v6 point 21.
I can now use Skype with a normal speaking voice. (Hurray!)
Of course, I’ve had to disable automatic Skype updates and say “No” to updates for the near future.
It’s too bad the tech people at Skype don’t seem to be able to duplicate the problem. My computer’s only 2 years old, so recent software it should work fine.

After updating my Iphone 4 on iOS7, my microphone stopped working when someone is calling me(or when I call someone). But the mic works with other applications like Skype... Any ideas ? Thanks.

Strange on - Wake on LAN (WOL) works with Win2K3, but not Windows 7

Hi,
I have a PC that I originally had Windows 2003 on. With Win2K3, I can send a wakeonlan (magic) packet (WOL) and get it to power on remotely from my home network/LAN.
I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, in a dual-boot configuration, i.e., so I can boot the machine to either Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit or Win2K3.
As mentioned, I can power the machine up remotely (from my home network/LAN), but if I've LAST booted into Win7, then shutdown, it doesn't respond to the WOL packet.
I've confirmed that if I boot into Win2K3, then shutdown, the WOL works fine.
I have another PC that has both Win2K3 and Windows 7 (also dual boot), and that works fine with WOL.
One difference between the one that doesn't work vs. the one that works is that the one that works is a machine that I just built a couple of weeks ago, which uses an MSI 880gm-E43 motherboard.
The one that doesn't work also has an MSI motherboard, but it's an older one, an MSI K9NBPM2-FID.
I've cross-checked the various Windows power management settings between the one that works, and the one that doesn't work, but I just can't get WOL to work with Win7 on that older machine. I've even turned the Windows Firewall off completely on the machine where WOL isn't working, but no matter what I've tried thus far, no joy :(...
The only thing that I can think of is that the network card driver (it's the MS one, from the Win7 distribution) might not work with WOL, but I've checked, and it's the latest driver from MS (Nvidia Nforce Networking Controller - 10/17/2008 - 1.0.1.211), and MSI doesn't have a specific Win7 64-bit driver for this motherboard.
So, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about this?
Is there some registry setting or something that might allow WOL to work?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi,
Unbelievable!
Just for the record, I got WOL working with the older machine, JUST after I posted the original msg.
Here's what I did:
- I was in Device Manager, and did Update Driver, but
- I selected to let me choose, and then I checked the "Show Compatible devices" checkbox
Then, a 2nd, older (10/6/2006 - 6.2.0.127) driver appeared, so I figured, "what the heck?" and tried that. I then shut the machine down, and sent a WOL packet to it, and kind of forgot about it (machines in a different room), but a few minutes later "bing!", the machine had powered up and booted into Win7!!
Anyway, as I said, for the record, and hope that this helps someone in the future.
Jim

Ichat works with wireless, but not ethernet

Just moved into new office and bought new iMac. I can get internet with ethernet or wireless, but iChat works only over wireless. This is true with my intel Macbook as well. Is this a port or firewall problem, and if so, why would wireless work, but not ethernet?
Core2 Duo 24", 1 g ram Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Who is supplying the wireless internet connection?
Who is supplying the wired internet connection? If
it's two different entities, the IT Secret Police may
be blocking ports on the wired side.
TimeWarner comes in from the outside, but a private contractor is involved in the setup of the wireless which is connected to the TW modem. But if the wireless goes into the TW cable, why does it work as wireless, but not directly plugged in? It is as if converting the signal to wireless cures the problem.

Why does the FP 10 work with firefox but not with IE8

I down loaded the folowing for xp FP uninstall, FP plugin and FP debug from the link in one of your replys. now I can watch youtube with firefox but not with IE8. you asked me before if i was using 16 bit. whats that mean and how do I find out? please help I just want to watch youtube on IE!

Ok Shag, since you hadn't been on a Forum before, then I'll take some of what I said back:-) I wanted you to stay on one thread, you can get in trouble trying things that may cause you more problems than you had in the beginning. I just had your best interest at heart
I'll even overlook your all caps here:-) At least you responded
Now since you say you fixed it, what you should do is to confirm it is fixed by taking a look at your Flash folder. This contains all of the Flash files for IE and FF. Then make sure you have the IE add on and the FF add on. That way if you have any future problems, at least you would know it is not the Flash Player.
You should only have 2 .exe files for IE and 1 for FF.
For Video editing, I would check Microsoft and see what they have. Perhaps someone else will come along with other info for you.
No, I don't get paid here, since I am not an employee. Just a user helping others, since I had a problem at one time and after 4 hours of researching solved it.
Let me know if you want to check the Flash files.
Thanks,
eidnolb

When I click on pictures in eBay or Facebook. It will not show the pictures....Will work with IE but not FF

When I click on pictures on eBay and Facebook...it will not show pictures/enlargements...just blanks....will work with IE. NOT ff

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Airtunes works with music but not with tv show

I have an AE wired to my to my A/V receiver and I play itunes music wirelessly thru the AE and it works fine. Problem: I downloaded a TV show and the audio will not stream via the AE and will only play thru the computer. The video works fine fine in both cases as I have it hooked to my TV via my A/V receiver from my Macbook display port. I am running itunes 8.1 and my AE is on firmware version 7.4.1.
Anyone know why the songs audio works and the tv show audio does not?

Thanks for that fast and definitely a fix at this time. It also works with internet radio, not just the iTunes radio stations. Now my wife will be able to listen to KFOG from San Francisco and I can actually hear my movies, since I am using a MacBook and it is just not loud enough.
Thanks Again Andy.
I love these forums.

Madison Square Garden web site opens but when I click on view all concerts tab at the MSG site it does not open. It works with AOL but not Firefox

I go to '''www.thegarden.com''' I click on the tab '''View Full Calendar'''. It does not open. It works on AOL but not Firefox. And for some reason it also does not work when I use Internet Explorer. The majority of times when I click on that tab (in Firefox) it does not work. On a rare occasion it will open. I am not doing anything differently either time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Skype works with WiFi but not with 3G

I have a Sony Xperia M, Andriod 4.3 and the last version of Skype. Skype runs perfectly with WiFI but when I turn it off it gets offline with my 3G. While other apps like Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, etc work well, Skype is logged in but offline: I can't send or recieve messages or calls and I see all my contacts but I can't see who's online. A friend has Sony Xperia M2 with Android 4.4 and is having the same problem with his 4G connection.
What can I do?
Note: Clearing data, as it has been suggested in other posts, doesn't work.

I have the same issue with a Samsung Galaxy S4.

USB or not doesn't matter. People usually have trouble getting the mic working because they use USB cards which are not the default of their systems, so you can try the said fixes, it should work.
For skype, did you check the Skype settings for where it inputs/outputs? Skype might be trying to use PulseAudio even if you don't have it...
You can try setting the default device in your asoundrc:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
Replace "card 0" with the correct card, like "card 2,1" or "card 1".

Bluetooth issue when working with Safari but not other applications

I have tried two new bluetooth headsets (Motorola 9HD and Sony DR-BT100cx) that both can Pair with and work just fine with the local itunes application and any DVD I use. But these devices do not work with Safari. I tried going to Hulu, YouTube, etc and i can tell the bluetooth device is 'listening' because I can hear it click or wait for a signal. But I never hear anything. If i switch over to DVD or my Podcasts that are local, it works fine. If I go to bluetooth settings and select 'stop using headset' the MacBook speakers pick up right away.
Note: I am a brand new Mac user, so please disregard my OS version I have selected. I have no idea how to find my OS version, nor do I know how to install Firefox to see if it is simply a browser issue.
Thanks,
Jay

I have the same issue. I've tried 3 different btooth headsets, and they all react the same:
- music: ok
- skype: ok
- webcasts / video (safari or firefox): no sound, and video stops
HOWEVER: same system, same headset, using Internet Explorer in my windows xp VM: everything works.
Anyone know how to contact Apple and log this issue?

Siri works with headphones but not without headphones

Ever since I installed iOS 7, Siri has not work through the microphone, only with the headphones. I have checked everything. The microphone works fine with the phone, but not with Siri. This has to be a bug in iOS7. Cany anyone heklp with this issue. If so please respond
Thanks

Hey polofson,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Siri in relation to your microphone. On the iPhone 5, Siri utilizes both the mic in the receiver opening and the mic near the rear camera. You may want to make sure these are not blocked (commonly by third-party cases):
iOS: Troubleshooting Siri
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4079
Ensure that Siri can clearly hear you
If Siri is unable to clearly understand what you are saying, make sure your microphones are not blocked.
iPhone 4s
Verify that the bottom microphone, located to the left of the dock connector, is not blocked.
iPhone 5
Verify that both the mic in the receiver opening and the mic near the rear camera are not blocked.
iPod touch (5th generation)
Verify that the mic near the rear camera is not blocked.
iPad (3rd generation)
Verify that the mic at the top center, above the FaceTime camera, is not blocked.
All models
- If you are using a protective case, try removing it.
- Try turning your device off and then on again.
Thanks,
Matt M.
