Picture of audio cassette on Netgear Skype Phone

I have a picture of an audio cassette (or square smiley face) on the screen of my Netgear Skype phone.  Also the green busy light keeps on flashing.  Could someone please tell me what it means, and how I can get rid of it.
Subject/title amended for clarity.

I totally agree on the Audacity comment. Unless Vnur made a typo and meant to type Audition (I've done that many times myself). I used Audacity before I got my Creative Cloud subscription and HOLY BANANAS what a difference! Audacity is free...but you get what you pay for. Nice for the temporary solution if cash is tight, but comparitively you CANNOT beat the quality of Audition. Nuff said.
I LOVE all the wonderful advice you gave here, Steve...if I could only understand what you meant! LOL! I apologize in advance. I am SUCH a newb here and still learning! I just got Audition 1 month ago and am learning as I try to produce this podcast. What do you mean by, "sucking out about 6dB at 1.5kHz with a Q factor about 1, using the parametric EQ"? Could you provide a snapshot of the settings, please? I would be forever grateful!
As for the Spectrum Analyzer, I still haven't learned how to use it other than taking out annoying sounds, like a beep, buzz or whistle. Now that you've mentioned it here as a way to help me correct the audio, I'll go to YouTube and see if I can find some videos that could give me a crash course on this tool. Any favorite links would be welcomed and appreciated, though! I just see pretty colors! LOL...I  know...I'm a dork.
Once I learn the language, I'm sure  much of what you've said here will make complete sense. I will most definitely be referring to this post often until I understand what I'm doing.
Thank you!!!

  • Skype accredited Skype phone supplier "Chat & Visi...

     Chat & Vision is OK when everything goes right but when there is a problem beware as you can see from various other reviews.
    We ordered a Skype phone and it was eventually delivered within an agreeable amount of time. not rapid, but fair enough. As we live way out in the countryside here in Spain we have problems with DHL as well as other companies delivering to us.To alleviate this problem we had an arrangement with a Spanish friend in a local village to accept deliveries for us. We ordered this phone with the belief as stated in their website "Worry free ordering all dues taxes and delivery charges included". 2 weeks after delivery our friend receives a demand from the Spanish Customs Authority that she appear before her local Tax authority due to unpaid duty on the goods that she received for us.Which involved a round trip of around 45kms. She was informed that the declared value by Chat & Vision was $12 and they insisted that they see the invoice from Chat and Vision which of course read €75. After another round trip of 45kms with the invoice she was then told she would be informed as to how much duty was to pay and also that there could possibly be a fine. We were of course keeping Chat & Vision informed of all of this ongoing problem.
    Assurance from customer support that we would not suffer as a result of this as they would recompense when it was finally sorted. Well the Duty turned out to be € 15 and no fine, but as we were so embarrassed about the time and cost our friend had incurred we recompensed her for her time and fuel costs € 50 only to be told afterwards that she no longer wished to receive any more goods for us. So a €75 phone from Chat and vision has cost us €140 which we could have purchased from Amazon for €79 and know that we would have had much better service as we are still waiting for any recompense from Chat and Vision that was in May we are now in September and still waiting, for something that is obviously not going to happen.

    Hi rodymoyra,
    Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. I am very disappointed in our handling of the case. I have taken the matter up internally with the relevant agents and departments involved to get the bigger picture on our process flaws and will rectify it if not already done. That includes a thorough review of the email correspondence with our support team which I believe was not up to our usual high standard. Whilst this ongoing, my support team will process a 50EUR refund to your paypal account within the next 24-72 hours. I will be in touch if I need any further info. I appreciate this does not make up the inconvenience experienced but hope it helps reassure you that we genuinely care.
    If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
    Kind regards,

  • Skype phone number just purchased does not "ring" ...

    Bought a skype phone number so I can receive calls thru skype.  Just "blinks" that it's an incoming call but no ringtone.  where can I go to fix this?

    Hi, Michele1984, and welcome to the Community!
    Just out of curiosity, is it only your Skype Number that does not have the classic Skype incoming call ring tone, or all calls?  The first place I would check (I am a Windows 7 user) is where I have my audio settings for "ringing" set.  I would also check in the Sounds settings under "which events play a sound."

  • How do I setup an iTouch as a skype phone or facetime phone for children that live in another state with another parent?

    Pretty simple, I'm a divorcee and would like to setup an iPod Touch as a facetime or Skype Phone for my children so I can keep in touch with them as they live with their mother in a different state.  How do I do this intalls the apps needed and not have it tied to my account as for backup puposes they will need to do this at their mother's house on her computer.  Can I gift an iTouch with Apps installed and setup?  And no the Ex-wife is no good on setting this up so I doubt it would get setup properly if I just send her the iTouch and gift the apps to her account. I would just like to have it ready to go once they recieve the iTouch and not get erased or reset if they sync it to her computer.

    Question that I need to know now is how do we set up a password on the Apple Airport Extreme now, when it is already set up and working without one?
    Open AirPort Utility.
    Select your base station, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    Choose a password scheme from the Wireless Security pop-up menu.
    Enter the password all users will need in order to join this wireless network.
    AirPort Utility 5.1 Help: Password-protecting your wireless network
    Also, are there different types of passwords and if so, what is the most reliable one so that we don't lose connections, time out or have any other quirks?
    There are different types of wireless encryption. WPA2 and WPA are the most secure especially when used with a non-dictionary password. 128 bit WEP is passable in most situations but not very strong. 40/64 bit WEP is extremely weak.
    There is really no general "reliability" issue with any of them. Some devices aren't compatible with some of them.
    If when we assign a password to the Apple Airport Extreme and for some reason the Netgear stops working, how do we unassign/take away the password on the Airport to get it back to the current setup that we know does work?
    Follow the procedure above but disable wireless encryption instead of enabling it.

  • Skype phone on Passport

    Having a problem with making calls using Skype on my BB Passport.  Able to call, connect, and hear the person I am calling but they are unable to hear me.  Do I have to use an external microphone?

    I had the same challenge and decided to use the Netgear Dual Line Skype Phone.
    It is stand a lone and does not need any computer - connects directly to the router.
    Works great for me - I have the base unit and 3 phones.

  • A skype phone that needs no computer --- just wifi...

    dear skype
    microsoft owns skype . microsoft owns nokia . i do not understand why microsoft doesn't manufacture a skype only phone using nokia parts . this is a no brainer . every person who has a skype account ( millions of people ) will buy this particular device . skype costs $60 per year plus whatever you have to pay per month for internet . ( please quit saying skype is free . that is a lie . ) do not design a skype phone that plays games or mp3 music or takes pictures or does a bunch of worthless app tricks . all we need is a skype phone that works over any wifi connection ( without a computer ) and costs less than 100 dollars . you can have a model that makes skype video calls for $89 and a model that makes no video calls for $59 . this phone will be the biggest seller -- in units sold -- that nokia has ever produced . do not combine this with a cell phone or a land line phone . ONLY SKYPE OVER WIFI !  this handheld device should also be capable of loading the most recent desktop skpe version for total compatability .  thank you .

    Solved my issue by setting up a new account on my daughter's computer. Not 100% solved, but i was able to get the update on my 3GS.

  • Skype Phone/Adapter Recommendations? (disregarding...

    I am looking for recommendations for a Skype Adapter or Phone, other than the ConnectMe from Freetalk. On a separate thread I plan on documenting my woes with the Freetalk ConnectMe once the dust settles.
    My desire: A device (I'll refer to it as an adapter) that connects to home network via RJ45 or wireless, that has an output RJ8 connection that can plug into existing telephone system (Panasonic base station with wireless handsets). This device provides Skype telephone service for outgoing and incoming phone calls without the need of a connection to a running computer at all times.
    An alternate solution would be a Skype phone system that connects directly to the home network (not to a computer running Skype).
    There seem to be a pile of old solutions. A couple of hours of research points to a bunch of poorly reviewed solutions, all of which seem to be 3-5 years old.

    You can try using the adapter I mentioned here.  
    http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Problem-Phone-keeps-ringing-after-call-answered...
    It still works with Skype 6.21 and has physically outlasted all the Freetalk Connect Me devices I have purchased.  The only Freetalk Connect Me that has survived many years is one that I own on 1.0 firmware that has yet to fail or update and Freetalks support was pretty much "too bad, so sad".  Which really doesn't bother me since it actually still works yet has no Caller ID.  This also leads me to believe the majortity of Freetalk Connect Me failures are software failures due to faulty firmware, updates, or power spikes and they offer no means of restoring the device in a hosed stated other than suggesting you buy a replacement which will of course have the same failure rate as the one before it.
    I wish the B2K device was a standalone.  It  sort of can be if you dedicate an inexpensive computer/netbook to it.  If it continues to operate in future releases of Skype then it may be a wise investment.  There should also be less of an issue with audio protocol negotiation with the newer releases that the Freetalk has issues with on Skype to Skype calls.

  • Recording from an audio cassette into digital format on a Satellite A100

    I want to record old music tracks from an audio cassette into mp3 format or similar. I have downloaded Audacity software but don't know if I can actually set up a line-in connection from my cassette player to my Toshiba Satellite A100. Is this possible via the micophone connection? Are there alternative ways of arranging this via one of the USB ports?
    If anyone has suggestions I would be interested to read them.
    Thanks
    Ken

    Hello Ken
    If you want to do this on professional way you need right stuff for doing this. A friend of mine has bought some package to digitalize old gramophone records. He bought some external device and special software.
    I can really do not remember the name of this product but I know it was connected over USB port. The gramophone or, in your case, cassette player must be connected to this external device.
    Google little bit around and you will find many good products for these purposes. In my opinion the MIC port is not the best solution.

  • Looking for a skype phone that works via pc

    I currently own the philips voip 321, great phone for the past couple of years, but a bit dated, basically im looking for a phone that has the same feature. I can use my computer to call somebody, and just pick up the phone and talk to them, or if somebody calls me the phone rings and i can enter pick it up using the phone or the pc.
    Most of the new skype phones are just internet based without the need for computers, which is great, but i prefer the computer to phone routine, are there phones like this around?

  • Desktop Skype Phones for Windows 8

    Hi All, I've downloaded Skype on my desktop for Windows 8 (I wasn't too happy with the app). I use a Skype number through my laptop (used as a server) which is shared between me and another individual in my office. I wondered if anyone knew if there was a way to get a USB Phone that we could use for this skype account so that either of us can answer the call or dial out from it? Any help would be great thanks.

    If you want to resort to using a USB-based Skype phone or adapter, I would suggest getting one that works in conjunction with SkypeMate.  That 3rd party application tends to get updated enough to be compatible with some Skype 6.x releases whereas other USB phones I've seen tend to discontinue support and only work up to the release when they were discontinued.
    For more information on your options, please read my responses in the following thread:

  • What do you need to do to get your pictures back after you just restored your phone? it says "downloading" but wont give me any of my pictures back that i took awhile ago

    what do you need to do to get your pictures that you took awhile ago back on your iphone 4s after you just restored your phone it? it says "downloading" but wont give me any of my pictures back that i took awhile ago. I backed everythign up at the apple store while the person who helped me watched me do it. i have 1,796 pictures i took before i restored my phone, but it wont let me see them. it just says "downoading" and i will be devestated if all of my pictures are gone. please help me!

    You would have received a prompt telling you that you didn't have sufficient space to beck up your phone if that was the case.  Also, not everything on your phone is stored in the backup so you wouldn't need 11.7GB to back it up.  You can see the size of your backup by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your phone under Backups and look under Options.
    If it says "downloading" it's probably still downloading your pictures from iCoud.  Check Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup at the bottom to see the status of the restore process.

  • I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone?  Thanks!

    iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store.  To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

  • USB Skype Phone Adapter - How to use it?

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to ask regarding USB Skype Phone Adapter, as I am planning to buy it. But, before I buy it I would like to know if I can still use skype to call locally using the land phone line (since it's by contract, and local calls are all free). Can I use the skype keypad to make those calls? Can I have access to my land phone line through skpye to make local calls, even though I might use it from a different country through skype? Please help me with issue. Thank you very much in advance!

    First of all, you seem to be using some custom classes as there is no table and no SimpleTableModel in Java ME.
    That said,
    The simpleTableModel is already attached to the tableSo when you assign the variable reference tableModel1 to a new object, it is the earlier referred object that is still 'attached' to the table, not the newly constructed one.
    If you can head me to the right documentationThat would be available from wherever you got the classes.
