Microphone Problems with Skype

Everyone I skype with can't hear me unless I turn on my boost and sensitivty on my computer settings in the Sound section of the Control Panel. When I click on the 'Listen to this Device' I can hear myself clearly and at a comfortable hearing range. Then I look to skype and see that Skype's sensitivity matches my computer visually, but when I speak it is either super faint or not there at all.
I have to turn on boost and sensitivty just so Skype can capture my voice. I made sure my drivers were updated, my cords wasn't broken, things are plugged in properly, reinstalled my driver, and so on and so forth. This is starting to irritate me and I just want to have a nice time with some friends on a call without constantly having to fix my sensistivty on the microphone, when the computer says it is all fine and Skype says turn up the sensitivtiy.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum microphone problem with Sk

I am having difficulty getting my headset to work with SKYPE when I plug it into the platinum front panel (mic2). I can hear myself through my headset or speakers, I've even managed to record a message that can be played back using wavestudio (after?tinkering), but I cannot get the thing to work with skype. I have upgraded from a Soundblaster Li've! card, something that had no problems with SKYPE. Since upgrading, my friends think I've become a mute. I've checked every setting I can think of without success. Does anyone have any ideas on anything I might have overlooked??

I've done as you asked but I still have problems. Skype works now but I'm still having difficulty, as I have discovered that the only way I can get the mic to work is to swap the REC column within surround mixer to MIC2. Then it works. I thought MIC2 was a shared socket that enables you to connect a second microphone, was I wrong?I also sound like a dalek that is trying to gargle with a glass of water, so there's still things to be done.
Also, any changes I make to surround mixer seem to revert back to the defaults after a period of time.So I have to keep making the same changes when I want to use skype.Can I set up my own defaults?

Sounds like you need to contact skype.

Not sure how often

As a suggestion I'd put the Text_io segments into their own begin - exception - end sub-blocks within the main code. This way if Text_io does raise an exception you can catch it earlier as it may be able to recover - That is if it is a text_io exception.
Other than that you;ll have to step through in Debug.

I have problems with skype

I have problems with skype I can not get to the phone on a stationary Russia. why?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what problems with iPhoto are you having? Describe in detail.
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Is there a problem with skype at the moment?

Hello folks.
I'm running a G4 and 10.411 using an old 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 now. I don't use video just audio. I have a subscription to call land lines. The problem I am having is that I can call out and hear the person I am calling, but they can't hear me. Is there a problem with skype today? Or have they made changes as of today that do not permit people to use the patch and an old version of skype? Any information would be much appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The problem has seemed to have gone away. The problem started yesterday on two different computers. Today, on one of the computers I ran a utility called Mcjanitor that I had installed years ago but very rarely ran it. I neglected to try skype prior to running the utility. On computer #2 I tried booting from an old utility disk called techtoolpro. I was unable to boot from the disk after several attempts and restarts. Both computers are running better and skype now works again on both. I sent an email earlier today to a tech support guy from my ISP about my recent problems with skype. In conclusion I can't explain why skype now works on both computers. I can only guess that I reset something when I used (attempted to use) a utility disk. The other possibility is that my ISP guy did something on his end. Or, lastly, that skype had problems that were remedied by skype today.

Problem with Skype and Wireless Networks

I have been having a problem with Airport for about 10 months. Long winded explanation follows.
Initially file transfers over wireless networks were extremely slow but this seems to have been that 10.5.2 update problem. There is a remaining issue when I use Skype on my Mac (details below) connected to a wireless network the incoming and outgoing audio drop out for 1 - 3 seconds at irregular but frequent intervals (approx every 5 - 10 seconds). This is regardless of the wireless network I am on - and that is dozens of them all over the world. Note it is voice only calls, not video. Apple has replaced the Airport card and the mother board; the OS has been reinstalled; test accounts set up but nothing fixes the problem.
At one point I had temporary relief by switching off 'Configure IPv6' in System Preferences/Network/Airport/TCP/IP. This worked for a month or so but now the problem is back as before.
All other aspects of wireless activity are fine. Wireless firmware is 1.4.4.
I have worn out my welcome with the usually sensational help desk. Any suggestions out there in Mac Land?

Hi there
Been a hectic week here getting this problem resolved. It is all OK now. Here is what we found and how it was done.
When Airport was playing up we set up an unlimited ping of the wireless router in the office. This is what it showed:

64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq
and so on.
After discussion with tech support they said the Airpot card had to be replaced. This was done with admirable expediency and I got the MBP back in 36 hours. On testing it the same problem was still there. Identical pattern on the ping test, the fault was not the hardware.
Once more a call to Apple and another tech. This time we booted from the OS 10.5 install disk and ran the ping test. I ran it for a few hours without seeing the fault, it worked fine. The problem had to be in the operating system.
After backing up all the data I zeroed the drive and did a clean install of the OS. Bingo! Problem gone.
So after 10 months, two airport cards and a mother board, the issue was in fact something corrupt deep in the OS.
So to anyone having similar problems with Airport, run a ping test as described above. If you see that kind of pattern, try a clean install before going down the hardware road.

Is apple going to fix the problems with skype

There is a major problem with dropped IM and video with Skype from the apple products. What is being done about this?

Is the issue just with Skype or FaceTime as well?
Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
Have you tried deleting the app and reinstalling ?

Mic problem with skype

Not sure what the problem is. My mic seems to be working but skype does not recongnize. it used to work but now it does not. Only change that i can see in upgrading to mountain lion.

Please verify that you turn OFF the automatic volume adjustment in Skype. If the volume is still low, you can try the following bypass: install a virtual audio device that will be the middle man between the physical microphone/speakers and Skype. One option is SoliCall Pro which is usually used as a noise cancelling software.

Microphone problem with POE 13

m@y microphone works with windows 8.1 but Premier Elements 13 will not recognize my "Realtech High Def Audio device.Any suggestion?

coo-gar
Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Have you updated your Premiere Elements 13 to 13.1 using an opened projects Help Menu/Updates? If not, please do so.
What type of microphone do you have? Classically, USB microphones do not work with the Premiere Elements (many versions) Narration Tool. However, there are scattered reports where the user claims to have used a certain brand of USB microphone successfully with Premiere Elements Narration Tool. Often the ReadMe files would mention this situation. Although I do not see that mention in the Premiere Elements 13 ReadMe, that does not mean that the problem does not still exist.
One workaround, if no alternative, is to create the narrations in a free program such as Audacity, and then import the narration (wav) saved to the computer hard drive into your Premiere Elements product with its Add Media/Files and Folders.
Please review and consider and give more details.
Thank you.

Microphone problem with my Inspiron 3521

Hi,
I have purchased a laptop Dell Inspiron 15 3521 Tag Number<ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed as per privacy policy>. It is to inform you that there is a problem with Microphone. The output of the microphone is very low and blurry. I have done all my best to solve the problem but all in vain.
You are requested to please help me in this regards.

You are requested to please help me in this regards.
Hello Muhammad Umar. This forum is for Dell owners to have a place where we can discuss technical issues with each other. If you are attempting to address a Dell representative, I urge you to contact Dell directly.
My own advice to you is to first re-install your Realtek audio driver from the Inspiron 3521 downloads page (make sure to select your operating system in the drop down menu).
If the problem remains, next install the native Windows audio driver. If that also does not fix the problem then you probably have hardware failure of the mic. In that case you should contact tech support (using the above link) and schedule a repair as per your warranty.

Continual Problems with Skype-to-Skype calls TO Sw...

Let's see if the Skype Customer Service will respond to this inquiry in a manner which indicates that they have completely read and understood the situation which I am about to explain.
Over the past 8 years, I have been regularly using Skype to call family in Switzerland. That's Skype-to-Skype, not Skype-to-phone. I have either used a modern Macintosh (OS 10.6.8, using Skype 6.15) or most recently an iPhone5 (OS 8.1.3) and the downloaded Skype App. The person with whom I have been speaking in Switzerland has been using either a modern Windows PC or iPhone5.
Each time, I can't call them, and the person over there must first call me.
Each time, I can transmit a live picture to them, but I can not receive their picture.
Oh, yes, I just tried to message Skype Customer Service about this issue, and received the following message: “500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.”

Customer service has received your request and working on it.
