Microphone volume in (and only in) skype extremely low in windows 10

I have done every solution i've been able to find. 1) changing microphone volume settings in the skype options.2) changing microphone settings in the REALTEK HD audio options3) changing audio settings in the mixer4) changing options in hardware & sound5) uninstalling and reinstalling the desktop program from skype.com and the windows store I have no idea what else to try. My microphone settings worked just fine in windows 8.1, but after upgrading to windows 10 i am no longer able to (or is anyone else) hear myself both in regular calls and the echo sound test service. I CAN hear my microphone volume in the web based beta version of skype. My problem seems to be exclusive to the desktop version of skype which I have version 7.1 

Same problem I have with "Skype for Desktop" I am using Dell XPS 15/Windows 10 Pro/Latest Realtek Driver. 1. Skype Desktop ==> Issue ... slow microphone. I have workaround for this is to                                     A. Go To Dell Audio                                      B. Micrphone Tab                                     C. Enable Disabled (On/Off) "Realtek Microphone Technology"2. Skype via web.skype.com ===> No issue 3. Google Hangout ==> No issue 4. oovoo desktop ==> No issue This is preety horrible and no Skype Admin is repsonding to this type of any message threads in skype community. So, I am wondering when are we going to get solution.

  • Microphone volume too quiet only with skype

    My microphone volume is extremely quiet during calls. This is not a problem with my headset since it works perfectly fine with any other communication or recording software. I have my microphone volume and boost set to max in the recording setting and I unchecked the automatically adjust microphone option in skype's audio settings. I've also tried re-installing my sound card driver but that did not solve the problem as well. I think my microphone stopped working with skype after version 7.0. I used to just simply use a much older version of skype (version 6.5) until recently Skype decides to retire all the older versions. So now I am stuck with a skype that no longer works.An interesting thing to note is that if I uncheck "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in the microphone properties setting and then restart skype, my mic will be at normal volume for about a minute, then it will be extremely low again. If I restart skype again, the mic will work perfectly fine for a minute again. (I am not entirely sure why and I am not sure it works in a real call becuase I only tested this with the ecco/sound test service).Please Help!

    Someone has posted this http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Help-Windows-10-Microphone-not-working/m-p/4076999#M361092 Please let us know if this fixed the microphone for you

  • Volume buttons and mute button don't function in Windows 8 64-bit

    Almost funny, I also have installed Windows 8 64-bit on my ThionkPad SL500 (clean install). I have read other people complaining about "Volume buttons and mute button don't function". This is exactly the same problem I have. I have found no exact procedure about what software to install to make this work. Instead people refer to other threads that often end in some desert... So, does anyone (Lenovo?) have a clear answer on what software to install (and links to those drivers please...) :-? And, yes, I have tried installing different software packages by following threads, but nothing has worked just yet... So, clear instructions / links, please :-)
    Thanks,
    Niels

    I recently found this information on the micorsoft troubleshooting website and thought of your post, not sure if you had found a solution but hopefully it is helpful.
    My keyboard volume controls suddenly stopped working
    If the volume controls on your keyboard stops working, check the Human Interface Device Access service on your computer to make sure it is set to Automatic.
    In the Start menu, type View local services.
    From the Search Results list, select View local services.
    In the Services dialog box, locate Human Interface Device Access. Make sure the status is set to “Started.”  If it is not started, click Start the service.
    Right-click Human Interface Device Access and select Properties.
    On the General tab, in the Startup type, select Automatic, and then click OK.
    Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,

  • Illustrator CC 2014 documents won't go full screen (and the UI is extremely low resolution)

    Illustrator CC 2014 does not seem to be running correctly.  My documents will not go full screen.  As you can see, there is a huge white gap surrounding the entire document.  I cannot grab the corners or sides to stretch it to full width.  On top of this, the whole interface is blown up and looks very low resolution. 
    Compare this to a screen shot of the previous version on the same computer:
    The document will expand to the full width available and the the UI looks much better.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  I am using Windows 8.1

    Since you still haven't got your data from the drive(s). I would advise performing a Windows installation without formatting the drive... I don't like this solution but at this stage you have probably tried everything else.
    Use a Windows 7 Reinstallation DVD when installing ensure you select...
    Select Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)
    If you do not select any of the drive options and simply highlight the largest partition and select next:
    Windows will dump all the old installation files in the Windows.old folder

  • Master level is extremely low((((

    Spent lotsa time remixing one track and now when everything mixed and polished and I like the sound, ca y est! the master level peaks at -22 or sth, even with the Logic Adaptive limiter, when I try to bounce the output 1-2 channel track there are even no waveform peaks on the file image, and everything is still extremely low...I think I overcompressed the track but I like the sound and I simply won't be able to redo it (nor I have any desire to), how can I get it to at least -5 or more?

    By the way, excellent advice John. This is one of those questions that is hard to answer without the project itself. Even a screenshot of the complete mixer plus one of the complete (=all tracks from start to finish cisible) arrange could tell us a lot.
    To the OP: this is how to get screenshots in a post here:
    +You can only post screenshots if you upload the Screenshots to an internet site/server first. I upload my screens to Flickr http://www.flickr.com, but there are other free photo-upload sites. If you have a .mac account, you could use that instead.+
    +Taking screenshots:+
    Shift+CMD3 takes a shot of the entire screen.+
    Shift+CMD4 turns the cursor into a rectangular marquee tool. Clickdrag until you have the right area framed, then release the mousebutton to take the shot. If you choose the wrong starting point for the marquee, hit Esc and try again.+
    +Once you've uploaded it, go to where it is uploaded, right- or ctrl-click on the picture and choose *Copy Image Location*. Go to your post and add the following syntax to it:+
    +{img src="pastecopiedImageLocationhere"}+
    +You must substitute < and > for the {}braces shown above, and the +quotation marks are essential.
    +Use the Preview tab (right above the five format buttons) when writing a post to check if the screenshot shows up in your post, before actually posting it.+

  • I  want to record a keybord connected by usb in an IMac and only           sound like an ambient microphone. What is wrong?

      I want to record a keyboard connected by usb port and only sound like an ambient microphone. What configuration is wrong? Thank you

    The optimum choice is to format it ExFAT, but do so on the PC, not the Mac. Alternatively, you can make two partitions - one for the Mac; one for the PC. Partition the drive using GUID when you make the two partitions. Format one using Mac OS Extended, Journaled. Format the other on your PC using NTFS if you won't need to write to it from the OS X side or use ExFAT if you do.
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) you will use for Windows from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to MSDOS.
    6. Click on the Erase button.
    When you connect the drive to your PC reformat the PC volume to either NTFS or ExFAT.

  • Satellite A100-532: microphone sound volume is extremely low

    I just bought Satellite A100-532 and I have a problem with sound input. I can't use microphone to chat with my friend on msn or even to record my voice on to the hard drive because the sound volume is extremely low.
    I tried turning up all the volume on the desktop and on the RealTek HD sound manager but did not help. Microphone is working perfectly fine as I can hear myself well on the speakers.
    Normally, with my old laptop (M30 series) I could use the Sound Recorder to record music which I play using Winamp or WinMediaPlayer but for this new laptop it does not detect any sound at all..just silence.
    Please advise.

    Hi
    You should check also the volume controls in the "Sound & Audio devices" in control panel.
    In the "Volume" tab please go to "Advanced".
    Then a "Volume control" should appear.
    Check if all controls are set to high level.
    Furthermore enter the "options" and "properties" and enable all volume controls.
    Change also to "recording" and enable there also all controls.
    Additional you should check if the all "recording controls" are set to high.
    Use "Advanced" option of mic and play around with the mic boost settings.
    I'm sure you will find the best settings for your mic recording

Thanks a lot for help me!!!!

    I have a nearly identical problem with my Ipad 3. Mine is the left channel. I've yet to find help, but have found a number of other posts on this and other forums discussing the issue. People have tried restore, reset etc. Also, cleaning the ports with compressed air or cotton swabs. It appears to be a software issue, but no one is sure.
    Along with the original poster, I'd appreciate any help.
    As far as the 'level 6' poster, if you're going to be rude, please don't bother. Hope it was just a bad day.

  • I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

    I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !
    I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
    The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

    The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
    So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
    As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

  • Volume Fader and Sends have only 128 Steps Resolution ?????

    Hi .
    I Notice that the Volume Fader and Send´s have only 128 Steps Resolution ?????
    To avoid of the REAL problem you can use the Gainer Plug in and you will get 0.1db Steps for Volume with mouse wheel support...
    Why is this not fixed yet...Is Logic Pro not a Professionel Music app .
    In compare to other Application like Cubase has Full mousewheel support for ALL Mixing parameter (Volume, Send, etc) with a High resolution.
    Love to Mix with Logic but put every time the Gain plug in in every track to have higher Volume resolution takes time.
    We need higher Resolution for Faders AND Sends, icl Mousewheel support !!..
    Do somebody notice this??

  • X-fi Xtreme Music soundcard PROBLEM: Microphone volume too low(unusab

    Hello, I've spent a while?sifting through these forums and?can't find any solution to this problem. Many people have been asking this same question and?aren't getting any solutions. When I say the microphone is?too low, I mean it's at the lowest possible volume it could?run at,?so it's unusable and?might as well not be functioning at all. Keep in mind every volume setting on the computer has been set to max.
    Is their anyone?that?owns a X-fi xtreme music sound card?using a?microphone that does work?If so, what microphone are you using?I'm only?suggesting that theirs some odd settings with this card that only allow a certain kind of microphone to work with it. I'm using an old mic that works perfectly with my sb li've and that I've had for 3 years now. I'll echo the same basic details I've already checked over. They can be found in other customers' posts who are having this?same problem.) Microphone works - tested on other systems and other cards2) Microphone volume is on max - both in recording and playback (although playback is muted)3) Gain is enabled - Ticked +20dB box4) Drivers are current - tried shipped drivers, current stable, and beta release?Here are more links to this problem, which has not been solved yet:
    http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=49623
    http://forums.creative.com/creativel...id=29980#M4984
    I?suspect no one?has?the answer to this problem?yet. But could someone please tell me if they are using this soundcard with a mic that is working. If so please tell me what microphone you are using.

    I don't know if this is the latest thread but it seems to be. Obviously this is a big prob for a lot of pee
    ps.
    I have Just built a new machine and included a X-Fi Extreme audio for the 8 channel sound capabilities for movie viewing etc, but .. I also run Teamspeak servers for several games ( WoW , UT , CS etc) and find myself unable to communicate using said card. problem is mic boost is available in playback mode but not in record mode. If you activate mic boost in playback it does actually increase volume in output mode also (don't ask me why) ...but not by much . Not enough for peeps on the other end to hear you while gaming. So... if you can boost mic on playback , why not on record ? which is where it is suposed to be in the first place. there are a LOT of frustrated gamers out there that have paid good money for the surround experience but are unable to do what previous cards have done well .... and that is allow communication between players . please don't ignore this as this is not an operating system problem.... i have installed this card on Vista and XP (both X64 and 32)? and still no mic boost from the software available. you know the problem .. at least acknowledge it and give an update. thank you?Fly

  • Volume encrypt and erase failed; unable to delete core storage logical volume

    I was attempting to slowly migrate [MI-***] from early 2013 MBPRO to New iMac 5K w/Ceiling Level components.
    Kept going through LONG process and then told me it couldn't create [MBPRO HD Home Username] "Jim" on volume or whatever. NO FileVault enabling/ still skittish from White iMac Encrypting Nightmare days... I don't even know -- I guess it's encrypted on Airport, but not on MBPRO.
    Moved over Applications from outside User account fine; anything inside any User account NOT FINE.
    Hooked up Thunderbolt cable between two macs and restarted MBPRO in T mode... displaying the lightning BOLT on screen that moves around to reduce Burn-in.
    Was able to go onto desktop and use windows to drag n drop 190G of movies over to iMac... wondering how I was going to get all right settings over form FCP...
    Bottom Line: I only have 16G left on MBPRO and need to MOVE video editing to be exclusive on 3T Fusion on Maxed out iMac 5K.
    > Have concluded through whole process that I just want to clone the MBPRO and then delete most of the Larger Videos from MBPRO to recover some of my 760G SSD back.
    So, I grabbed my 2T Airport Extreme and Hooked up the Cat5 LAN port to Cat5 input on back of NEW iMac; Now my MBPRO doesn't have to be locked up for days, because i can use TimeMachine backup to restore or clone the two macs... i hope.
    Went into recovery mode and selected sub-Macintosh HD and attempted to erase; Result time after time after time: "Volume Encrypt and Erase failed." Reason: "Unable to delete the Core Storage logical volume." It dismounts it and I have to restart computer to get it back on. Funny thing is I don't have to use R anymore... which by the way, Command+R appears to be same as just plain old R when restarting... why is that?
    This has become a "since Christmas" runaround session for me and I am sick of it.
    Please help. I would've called Apple Care [and I did last night while driving... just to get advice on direction. I'm usually a pretty savvy PowerUser but this is driving me crazy.] but have to get things done for a meeting tomorrow. Can work on it after hours if someone can advise today on this post.
    Thx,
    Jim

    I have taken some screenshots of the error I get and the state of my HDD in Disk Utility. I did have a weird thing happen after trying to repair using single user mode, where I reopened disk utility and the partitions were NOT greyed out and displayed the correct info concerning space available etc, although after verifying it then reverted back to greyed out with no info.

  • Adjust input/microphone volume?

    Hey, I use the "Recorder" app for a few things. I would like to be able to adjust the input volume so that some of the louder things that I record are not overloaded/clipped/distorted if possible. There is not an option in the Recorder app itself. Is there some other way to adjust the iPhones input/microphone volume?

    Hi, I'm facing a similar problem. The kAudioSessionProperty_CurrentHardwareInputVolume property is "read-only" and does not allow to set it. Please let me know if you get to know how to resolve this.
    Thanks
