Skype Audio Headphone Problem

So I use headphones on my laptop for just about everything. I am able to make Skype call audio go through my headphones but it makes all of my other audio (music, netflix, youtube, etc...) go through the laptop speakers. I have tried for about a week now to get both the audio from my Skype calls and my music to be played through my headphones, but I have been unable to make any progress whatsoever. My friend that I am usually Skyping with has it setup so that he can listen to music and our skype call all through his headphones, so I know it is possible. I just can't figure out how to achieve these settings for the life of me. Any help is greatly appreciated because Skype has been absolutely no help to me

I have no doubt you either have an HP computer or another brand computer with the IDT chipset. Whatever setting that gets it to work will not make any sense. Here's an example of a person who resolved the problem on his computer:

Audio headphones problem

Good morning,
unfortunately I'm here to ask your help.
When I plug my headphones in the jack connection, I continue hearing the sound from speakers. If I go to settings, then audio I cannot see headphones listed in output.
This is strange because there's no red light in the jack port, when I plug the cable I can hear some "connection sound", but then no audio from headphones.
It's like the system does not recognize the headphones. Of course I tried with different headphones, the problem still remains.
My macbook pro is early 2008 and runs Lion.

I would not force the headphones into the ipod if there is difficulty doing so. If you read line number 5 in the link below then you can request replacement headphones if you find yours faulty.

Or take your nano to the local apple store and talk to someone at the genius bar if you have a local apple store.

T500 + Vista Ultimate Audio (Headphones) problem

My new T500 running windows vista ultimate seems to be having some audio issues. The inbuilt speakers work fine and I hear everything well. However, if i plus any external speaker or headphones to the computer's headphones jack, there is no effect. The sound still comes from the inbuilt speakers instead if the headphones.
I tried uninstalling the audio driver but it does not solve the problem. When I look into the device manager, it reports that the audio device is working properly. I still tried to install the driver but the driver installation fails.
any ideas or suggestions?

Too bad Apple can't write software to run on Windows.
iTunes is s h i t.
I guess they don't care about Vista uesers

Hi Ankitg6,
If that is not an option let's work on the drivers then. I will get you to uninstall the sound driver and reinstall it. Below are a couple of links. The first is on how to uninstall the drivers and the second will be a link to the driver for your computer.

Skype Audio Problems Trouble Shooting

Thank you for your suggestions. I apparently have an unusual problem. I hear the normal sound when skype come on. I also checked speakers and the volumn meter responded. I went to sounds and the sounds played. However, when I tried a test call I could hear nothing. Any other suggestions??Al

Below are some suggestions to check and fix possible audio related problems. Just try whichever are applicable or you haven’t tried yet. 1. Double-check if your microphone/s and speaker/s are properly plugged-in, active, or turned on. Be sure that they are also not muted. You can also test them using other applications to make sure that they are working and not defective. 2. Download and install the most recent version of Skype. Issues, bugs, problems, and irregularities in older versions are often fixed or solved in the latest Skype version. 3. Update your audio/microphone/webcam drivers. You can use the Update Device Drivers function of your operating system, or visit the corresponding manufacturers’ site to check if there are new versions of drivers for your devices. 4. Download and Install remaining updates for your Operating System. 5. Click Tools >> Options >> General Audio Settings. If the other party can’t hear you Under Microphone, select the preferred microphone device that you want to use (there could be one or more options available when you click the dropdown selection arrow). Check if the Volume Meter will respond when you make sounds. You can also try to uncheck Automatically Adjust Microphone Settings and manually Adjust the volume to 80%-90% full. If you can’t hear the other party Under Speakers, select the preferred speaker/headphone device that you want to use (there could be one or more options available when you click the dropdown selection arrow). To test you speaker/headphone, click the check speakers option (green play icon) and check if the Volume Meter will also respond. You can also try to uncheck Automatically Adjust Speakers Settings and manually Adjust the volume to 80%-90% full.
You can also click the Show Advanced Options to change the order of preference of the available microphone and speaker devices in your computer. For example; you place your external microphone on the top of the list, followed by your internal microphone. Skype will first look for your external mic, and will only use the internal mic of the external mic is not available or not plugged-in. 6. Call echo123, the Skype sound testing service to check if your mic and speakers are working. If both are working, you should be able to hear the automated voice and the recording of your own voice. Useful Links; 1. Skype sound set up guide 2. Call Sound Testing Service (Echo123)click the Call Me Button below

My problem is that after upgrade to IOS 6.1.3 my iphone not sounds! dont have sounds notifications for whatssap, FB, mails and can't listen music and talk with skype without headphones or speakers! only have vibrator and sound for one coming call!! what can i do!???? 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.

Mac mini audio output problems

This is similar to a problem that appeared before, but with a different twist.
On 4 July all was well. On 5 July I switched on and there was no "chord" from the Mac. When I collected my mail - no sound from my speakers (which are part of my screen). Logged on to a couple of sites - no sound.
The System Profiler, under the "Audio (Built In)" category, says: "No Built-in Audio." I know that's wrong because it's always worked before and when I plug my headset in it works fine.
When I go to the Sound preferences panel in System Preferences, it finds the headset but if I unplug that it finds nothing.
I tried running the hardware test (by putting in the OS X install disc and holding D during startup.) It couldn't find a problem.
So, as far as I can see, audio output is fine for the USB headset output but not for the others. Is there a simple fix? The nearest Apple store is about 200 miles away and I don't fancy the idea of posting the Mac off.
(And I think it's still under warranty for a couple more weeks.)
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.10)

hello mini users with the "no audio output" problem
it seems that there are faulty output jacks in the macbook and the mac mini
there are two things you can try:
i tried everything and began thinking about what new software i had installed. it was "macam" which enables you to use older webcams on OSX. i needed that to use my webcam on skype.
macam installs a file called "macam.component"
if you have the same, do this - take that file out of:
(your hard drive)/library/quicktime - macam.component
and just put it on your desktop
restart, then in your sound pref's choose your audio output (if doesn't work restart again)
the first time i took it out, i had my sound back instantly, another time i had to choose audio output in sound prefs. you kind of have to try different things. after you get your sound back, you can put back "macam.component" to use your webcam.
it seems macam causes the problem, the two can not work at the same time.
the second thing: if you dont have "maccam" try plugging and unplugging output jack a few times and restarting until you have sound.
the problem still could be with the OSX 10.4.10 update / quicktime...or maybe even a hardware problem like others with macbooks were saying (with the red light), not sure.
people with macbooks and who have the red light on, say to use a paperclip to turn off the switch inside.
my mini does not have a red light on. i tried using a paperclip but it doesnt work.
hope this helps, beleive me i feel your pain!!!!
what good is a computer without sound?
extremely annoying problem that i hope apple looks into and fixes

Entire Skype Audio Spontaneously stops working

So, I was just in a group call with my friemds when suddenly, out of nowhere, my audio just cuts out. No skype audio whatsoever; I can't hear them speak, I can't hear the skype call noise, the startup noise, the logout, nothing.
I've checked my mixer and speaker settings on Skype, and they all seem normal and the bars all show that audio is coming through. My friends can hear me just fine, and I've asked them and I've googled for help, and I've gotten no results.
The only thing I can say that I was doing at the time was that I started installing a game on steam, but I have no idea why that would cause all skype audio to cease functioning.

If the sound output in Skype is set to Realtek Digital Output, then you will not hear it on your speakers or headphones. Change the settings for Speakers to what ever you use to listen to voice on Skype.

Audio sync problem - simultaneous HDMI and analog output

I'm currently running my audio out through my Geforce 460 via HDMI to my A/V receiver. I have a simultaneous stereo analog output running through my ASUS Xonar D2, using Pulseaudio & Amarok as the player (VLC-gstreamer backend).
I use the HDMI and A/V receiver to power my main stereo in my living room, but on occasion when I want music around the house, I use the analog line out to send audio to an FM transmitter.
The problem is, I'm running into audio sync problems. The audio starts out synchronised (at least to the naked ear) but within 20-30 seconds it is noticeably out of sync, with the analog audio (form my FM radio) running around a half second ahead of the HDMI output (my main speakers).
So - where to begin finding where the sync problem is? The receiver? Conversions between 44Khz and 48Khz?
Any help much appreciated - google-foo hasn't turned up anything obvious so far.

Yeah - that was my thought - a very difficult, and probably insoluble problem as it stands. I can't just mute one of the devices as that would defeat the purpose of having multi-room music! Fortunately it's not too noticeable usually, as you can't usually hear the main stereo and the FM radios at the same time, unless you're standing in the right part of the house
The analog splitter cable not really a goer, since running clean, crisp multi-channel HDMI with pass through when needed is the essential goal of the HTPC. So unless I was to switch inputs and or unplug cables...
What I will end out doing, in the absence of a software solution, is hooking the FM transmitter directly to my receiver. I was going to just use the headphone-out jack of the receiver to feed audio to the FM transmitter, but the stoopid receiver can't output audio to external speakers at the same time as the headphone is plugged. To overcome this, I'll probably run a headphone amp off the receiver's RCA outputs, into the FM transmitter. Like this one: http://headamp.com/portable_amps/ae2/, or this one: http://www.amazon.com/Rolls-HA43-Headph … B00102ZOQC

Welcome to the forum, s.destination. Sorry to hear you're having "audio channel problem." Perhaps if you gave us just a little more information, someone here might be able to help. Your decidedly terse first post doesn't give us much to go on.

M57 audio quality problem

Hi everyone,
I have 3 M57's with onboard Soundmax sound devices that have been downgraded to Win XP Pro w/SP3 and all of them are exhibiting audio quality problems. It seems like that audio is distorted most of the time. As an example, if a wave file is played 5 times it may sound distorted 3 out of the 5 playbacks. The only way to describe the distortion is it sounds like the audio is being downsampled to 1kHz.
I've also tried using speakers, headphones, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well, at least it's not just me. We've got over 100 of these workstations to roll out and I can't get the audio to work either. It's the exact same problem that mlieberum is having. I've tried about every single thing I can possibly think of. Everytime I think I've got it working, all of a sudden the sounds starts distorting. Something weird that I've noticed is that if Windows Media Player is open and playing music, the audio works all the time. As soon as you close media player, the sounds starts distorting again.
I've contacted Lenovo twice and they were absolutely no help at all. I've got to have 40 of these workstations done by the second week in January so I need to figure something out. If anyone has any ideas, I'd certainly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Steve
Well since you said any ideas, the guy I helped out with his A52 sound drivers got good results from this site here

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share formats (iDVD, mp4, and last of all iTunes). The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips. This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.
The Project is mounted from Iomega and superspeed ext hd connected to imovie09 on macosx 10.5.8.
What to do to resume repairs to the audio sync problem and so successfully share for youtube upload?

CS4 Audio Export Problem

Hi
I'm fairly new to CS4 and have picked up an audio export problem, more than likely with a setting of sorts. For some reason when I export to MPEG2 -DVD via the Media Encoder, the video portion is fine as well as any audio that has been placed and edited on tracks audio 1 and 2 in PP. However, if there is additional audio placed on tracks 3 or 4 for example (say a music MP3 overlay) then this does not come out ... only audio placed on tracks 1 and 2 in PP come out. I have checked the obvious like making sure the tracks aren't muted etc but to no avail. Also tried changing from PCM audio to MPEG ... Stereo to 5.1 mixdown ... nothing doing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards

Thanks Harm ... got SnagIt and with a few helpful YouTube tutorials ... am in business. Hunt and John, also thanks ... the other method equally as good. Now, I have attempted to attach my screen shot which should display my CS4 timeline and associated audio monitor windows above. By the way, this was for a wedding and as indicated, you will notice an MP3 lying in audio track 3 which as mentioned is my problem as it is not audible after render via Media Encoder. But remember, the moment I slip this MP3 up into audio track 1 or 2 above ... problem solved. I know there must be something small like a setting gone wrong or incorrect. As mentioned, any help would greatly appreciated.
Thanks to you all.
