Re: Microphone problems when I use Skype

Could anybody help with the problems that I'm experiencing with the microphone when using Skype?
I have also tried to use an external one but still having problems with the other person not being able to hear me, is there a setting which I can adjust its been back to Toshiba and they said that there is no fault.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi MCFARGL,
I have even tested Skype and it seems that everything works properly.
Furthermore I miss some important informations You write nothing about your operating system, notebook model, Skype version, headset, drivers, etc.
Maybe its still enough if you enable the microphone boost. Check the Windows sound settings (input devices). There you configure the microphone volume and enable microphone boost.

  • Help..problems with connection using Skype

    Hi, I have BT broadband option1 which I must say is very stable and generally fast enough for what I require. However when I use Skype the video is very blocky and freezes sometimes, audio is fine. Skype reports that my connection is bad and suggests I turn off video but my son and Grandson live in Australia so Skype is an essential application for me and the wife. I have tried another computer which behaves exactly the same so I am guessing it is my Broadband or Home Network. I changed the BT Home hub 2 for a new Netgear N150 to see if that improved it but alas no. I have port forwarded the Skype port to the computer but that has not helped either.
    The connection speeds reported by BT speed test and Netgear are 448 upstream and 7616 downstream..
    Is there anything wrong with my broadband connection or does anybody know how I can improve the skype video 

    Hi Paul
    Speaking from my experience as Jolly mentioned I was the other guy with the same problem. I could just not work out why I was getting a report from Skype all the time that my connection was not suitable for good video and to just use voice. My upload is the same as yours and is definitely sufficient for video.
    I have a BT Home Hub 1 and after getting pretty fed up I just decided to do a Factory Reset and luckily it worked. You may want to revert back your your BT Box and do a reset just to see if it works because that's what I did.
    As for port forwarding you should not have to do that as Skype and probably your router is UPnP ( Universal Plug and Play ) which does the port forwarding for you automatically.
    Try looking in the logs of your router to see if anything stands out as been wrong.
    In Skype you can get connection details from it. While you are doing a video call if you go to the top of the program and click on ‘Call’ and then ‘Call Technical Info’ and left click and copy what is in that screen and post it in here. From there we can tell what speed you are uploading.
    If it seems that you are uploading OK it may be the other ends download speed as that can also effect the connection between you and them.

  • I am unable to view google ads running alongside and under videos on YouTube. This is only a problem when I use Firefox. If I use another browser, I can see the ads. I do not have adlock as it does not appear in my plug-ins/add ons. Please help..

    I have been using Firefox for about two years. For about a month now I have been unable to view any Google advertisements that run on YouTube pages alongside and under videos. This is important for my business. I would like to stay with Firefox, but this is only a problem when I use Firefox and is not a problem with Internet Explorer or Google Chrome as I checked. I tried uninstalling Firefox and all plugs ins and add ons and then reinstalling it. This did not work. Firefox seems to be blocking the Google codes that enable the ads to run on the pages. I look forward to your help. Thank you.

    CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back.  So probably won't run on modern operating systems.  If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

  • Hi! Has anybody succeeded in using Presonus Audio box 22 vsl with Os Mountain Lion? They doesn´t seem to connect. No problems when i used with Snow Leopard. I upgraded: Now is Kreonika not happy. Not happy at all!

    Hi! Has anybody succeeded in using Presonus Audio box 22 vsl with Os Mountain Lion? They doesn´t seem to connect.
    No problems when i used with Snow Leopard. I upgraded: Now Kreonika is not happy. Not happy at all!

    In cases like this, if you have an Apple store near by, they will most likely install the OS free of charge for you, if you can't bring your Apple ID along to prove you've paid for it.
    Would that work out for you?

  • 1. The procedure called by CUSTOM.pll causes the problem when we use f60gen

    When CUSTOM.pll contains a call to a package that in turn calls a remote package, the CUSTOM.pll compile hangs forever.
    1. The procedure called by CUSTOM.pll causes the problem when we use f60gen. Though same procedure compiles successfully using "alter procedure compile" command.
    2. We have observed the problem happens due to synonym present on the remote database(db link).
    It doesn’t work if you are calling SYNONYM on remote database. It works, for calls to tables or procedures or packages in remote database if that object is OWNED DIRECTLY by the account to which dblink is connecting to.
    select object_name, object_type from user_objects@NH_SCM_ICE.DB.ATT.COM ;
    OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE
    FA_LOCATIONS SYNONYM
    FND_FLEX_VALUES SYNONYM

    The database link is created under the APPS user in the local database but connects to a different user (SWCS_ICE_SUPCHAIN) in the remote database.
    The user in the remote database does not own any objects. It only has synonyms to objects owned by apps and others.
    Incidentally, the hang also happens when trying to describe the remote package from the application tier (8.0.6.3 sqlplus) but the describe works fine from the DB tier (10gR2 sqlplus).

  • I use LabVIEW 7.1 but I have some problem when, I use LabVEW to read the data from serial communication

    I use LabVIEW 7.1 but I have some problem when, I use LabVEW to read the data from serial communication.
    I use LabVIEW to read the data from serial communication then, i open the example (.vi) from Serial Communication - Advanced Serial Write and Read  from LabVIEW Example. BUT it have some error message that : Error - 1073807202 occured  at property node in visa configure serial port (instr).vi -> advance serial write and read .vi
    this error code is undefined. no one has provide a description for this code, or you might have wired a number that is not an error code to the error code input.
    I don't know why? please help me. thank you.

    When I copy that code into "Explain Error" I get: "VISA:  (Hex 0xBFFF009E) A code library required by VISA could not be located or loaded."
    You may have a bad install of VISA or the wrong version of VISA loaded. Try re-installing VISA. You can get the latest version from the NI support site: http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/webcategories/85256410006C055586256BBB002C0E91?opendocument&node=1....
    Also ensure that you are not pointing the example towards a serial port that does not exist.
    Please let us know what you find and what gets this working for you.

  • How is payment made when I use Skype to call abroa...

    Can someone explain to me how the payment is made when I use skype to call abroad?
    This post was transferred from its previous location to create its own new topic here; its subject and/or title has been edited to differentiate the post from other inquiries and to reflect the post's content.

    Hi, Brianbarry, and welcome to the Community,
    Skype provides two methods of paying for outgoing calls to fixed or mobile numbers:  a Skype subscription or Buy Skype credit.  Skype-to-Skype calls are always free of charge.
    In the case of Skype Credit, the cost of the call is debited from your balance as the call progresses.  When you reach the equivalent of "2" in whatever currency your account is set to, the credit will attempt to "top up," or the call will drop.  In the case of a subscription, the subscription covers the cost of the outbound calls.
    Regards,
    Elaine

    You may want to try reinstalling iPhoto by deleting it from your Launchpad on your MacBook Pro, then re-downloading it from the Mac App Store:

  • Problem: When receiving a Skype message old Skype Name is used on notifications

    On my iOS phone, when I recieve a message, the notificationt that pops up uses an old display name. I don't think it's the Skype Name that shows, as it was a email address, not a name used originally. Any solutions?

    Hi all,
    Thanks for your answers.
    So, after reading your post, i'v checked the "Use Mail Package" with encoding "none" and i am now using an XSD.
    When i use IMail.AssumeXMLContent = true  in the Advanced Mode, it brings me only one field in my content:
    e.g.
    <content>
    <language>en</language>
    </content>
    It's weird that it brings me back only one field...it takes the first one only, don't know why ???!!!
    The other solution is without the advanced mode and this time, i have all my field in my content but the symbol "<" or" >" is interpreted by &#60 and &#62 (text/hexa)
    I'm going to try to apply xsl or java on it...

  • How come when i use skype on my ipad air, it keeps dropping out? My bluetooth is always turned off also

    So i have an ipad air and during the past month or so, the amount of dropouts when using skype has skyrocketed to at least 3 or more dropouts a day. It can't be my internet because whenever it disconnects i go to chrome to check if my internet is working. I've looked on a few websites and so far the only solution was to turn off the bluetooth. But the thing is, my bluetooth is always turned off.
    Is there something i can do about this?

    Hi geminigay,
    You state that your music plays at random times even if it isn't open. Also your earbuds are plugged in most of the time.
    Does this happen if the earbuds are not connected?
    Are your earbuds the ones with the remote and mic?.  If so, they can start the music playing even if the Music app is not running.
    Use an Apple headset - iPhone
    The Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic (iPhone 5 or later) and the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic (iPhone 4s) feature a microphone, volume buttons, and the center button, which lets you answer and end calls or control audio and video playback, even when iPhone is locked.
    Use the center button to control music playback. 
    Pause a song or video:  Press the center button. Press again to resume playback.
    Note that applies to the iPad as well.
    See if the remote is being activated.
    Regards,
    Nubz

  • Problem when printing " " using XSL

    I have a problem when printing the "<" .It is always printed as
    "&#60;" in the HTML file.
    I wish to transfer a Javascript text . I tried
    using CDATA . This is an extract of a portion in my XSL File

    And this is what the HTML file contains
    function createLOV(lov_name, array_touse) {

    Currently, the parser does not support the xsl:output and
    output-escaping mechanisms. We plan on adding support for this
    in a future release.

  • Airport extreme signal drops when/after using Skype

    I used Skype-to-Skype twice yesterday and both times the wifi signal from the Airport (802.11 n /square base station) started to attentuate and then completely disappeared. In both cases, I had to turn off and re-power the Airport base station to get my wifi working again and to maintain full strength. Regular internet usage has not caused this problem. We do not use Skype often and, of course, I could be mistaking coincidence for causality but this problem has not happened before. I get my high-speed internet from my cable company; perhaps they are doing something to discourage Skype/VOIP???

    I am having the same problems, I was using a standard TP-link router and upgraded to AEBS, now it takes up to 7 tries to get a stable (?) connection with the AEBS. If anyone has any ideas it would be great.
