Skype Calls randomly disconnecting my entire lapto...

Hi all,
I've been having a problem with my Lenovo Yoga 11s and skype calls. I'm able to have a solid connection to skype and send messages but whenever I call, it's inevitable that the skype call ends up crashing/lagging until the call drops. This also results in a loss of internet for my entire laptop. I've also tried this on another wireless internet connection and got the same results. Is there anyway to fix this? I've tried a clean reinstall and downgrading to older versions but it's been no help. The calls can last from 2 minutes to 28 minutes before they disconnect.
Also, I never had this issue on my previous laptop (that also connected to this same internet connection) so I'm thinking my internet must be fine. My brother can skype without a problem, it seems to be an isolated problem.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I use my Window Surface to connect my skype by wifi but It can not now I do not know. Althougth I reset my Surface

Skype calls keep disconnecting

I'm having trouble with skype on my Surface RT. During a call it disconnects me anywhere from 2mins to 10mins into the call. I've refreshed my tablet, uninstalled & reinstalled the app. I don't have this issue with Skype on the Xbox One or when I use skype on my WP 8.1. That rules out any issues with my internet & with the other persons end.

Skype Calls disconnect my internet.

Hello,
I'm having a really annoying problem here. Skype calls disconnect my internet at random intervals. It ONLY happens when I am in a Skype CALL. I could be gaming, or just minding my own business (staring at my desktop) and it will happen. I've tried several solutions but none of them seem to work. I've disabled uPnP.
I've used a port anywhere between 1000 and 65000.
I've checked and uncheck the "Use port 80 and 443 for additional incoming connections" multiple times. It never works.
Usually what I do is disconnect my computer from the router, and then reconnect it quickly, and it sets everything back to normal. (Normal internet connection). However, if I dont do that my internet will just stay disconnected for an extended period of time. (1-5 minutes, 5 being the longest I've experienced).
I run on Windows 7.
I have Microsoft Security Essentials.
My Skype version is 6.21.0.104
Please let me know if you need anymore information to solve my problem.

That sounds like an issue with your router. Try bypassing your router to see what happens. If you router has any firmware updates available, apply them.

Hi I want small recharge for mobile calls from skype

Skype making random calls I don't make

Hi,
skype is making calls to my contacts when we are both online, but these calls were not place by me, skype is randomly and independently doing this. Does this happen to anybody else?! This is crazy, and it is beginning to happen so frequently that it is causing real problems. Is there someone that can help, any advice?
I'm using Windows 7, skype version 6.6.0.106, I have multiple antivirus software programs each which is run several times per week, and there are no programs accessing skype (nothing under Manage API Access Control settings).
Sorry if I've posted in the wrong area, I'm new to the sommunity. Thanks for any advice!

I've got the same problem, along with multiple people on my friends list. We're all getting random calls from each other, each with different past dates, none of which were ever actually made. (As in the calls were sent from the past... and we just got notified. The dates calls were made to me so far have been Sept 25, 29, and Oct 1)
I can also say that none of us have touched suspicious links like the one you mentioned for the 'lol is this your pic?' virus.
In the tools->advanced->manage other programs there is nothing listed, so I doubt that a program being there is the issue.
Daily virus/malware/spyware scans are also performed on each of our computers, with nothing significant ever being picked up.
We are all running Windows, and I know at least two of us are running the newest version of Skype.
And it really isn't a big deal since it doesn't seem to be causing any harm, but it would still be nice for it to stop affecting people ^^ So hopefully we can get this checked~

Skype Ads Randomly Playing Sounds During Calls

I've been having random sounds play while in meetings and realized it was due to Skype ads on the homescreen. The sounds are can be music or some random ad-voice. I've managed to make it stop temporarily by clicking "Home" button. However, this nusance persistantly occurs. This is extremely annoying and embarassing as a majority of my Skype calls are business related. I've read several existing threads (most archived) and nothing has provided any real help in resolving this. I'd like to know if Other Skype Users are encountering this irritating issue, and/orHow do i prevent sounds eminanting from Skype ads randomly playing at will?? This is pretty awful UX Skype folks. ::

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Sorry to hear about the Skype ad playing audio by itself. Can you share a screenshot of the ad which would help us identifying the actualy ad? Do you see the ad on top of the conversation window or in the Skype Home screen that is shown when you don't have a conversation opened?
Finally can you let us know which country you are located in? I dont know what ad it was - it has two guys in the image. I never pay attention to skype ads. The ad sounds play from both the homescreen and the in call screens. For me it's happening more often from ads on the homescreen. When I'm not on a call the sound randomly plays. When i realize its from the homescreen, i click the homescreen button and the ad sound stops and refreshes so I really have no idea what ad this is. SUGGESTION: What makes more sense to me is providing users with an option to permanenly turn off ad sounds for ALL ads. Me personally: I don't want to keep coming here to these forums to complain about different ads making different sounds - further deeping this awful UX experience. One universal - turn ad sounds off solution seems the most logical. It be easier for folks there to dev and include that option rather troubleshooting these types of issues on a per-ad basis. I'm located in the US.

Skype calls disconnection

Dear all,
I purchased skype voip services, and trying to call pakistan from saudi arabia, but during last 4 days my all calls about 30-40 calls disconnect after 1 or one and half minutes. I am using nexus 4 android 4.4.4 and skype latest version. Also skype is not blocked in saudia arabia. Also i tried to make a call from my laptop but same issue. Is there any skype customer support number or email who can check my account and solve this issue

I have the same problem with Skype calls from Saudi Arabia to landlines. Strangely, when I call from Saudi to the U.K. or Saudi to Switzerland I get clean, uninterupted phone calls. When I call Saudi to the United States the calls are disconnected after a bit more than one minute. I suspect the local telecom is doing this to discourage Skype users. Does anyone have the same experience making Skype calls from the Kingdom?

Skype calls to pc drop pc's connection to internet

When in a skype call the connection between my computer and the interent will dissapear interupting the call. It does not seem to restart the router or even disconnect the computer from the router as all pther internet using devices remain fully opperational. The internet will remain unaccessable from this pc for as long as the call is attempting to reconnect OR untill I disconnect from the router and reconnect again.
As you can guess this gets frustraiting when you're trying to skype your girlfriend who's half a country away nad keep having to re-connect the call every 5 minutes at best.
The problem does not seem to be with the router as it is fine from all other devices including my android phone and several other windows laptops. It is also present on (assumingly) all networks including the D-Link router in use at home, the Virgin media Super hub I use at my uni house and on an ethernet connection I had in halls last year.
I will work on getting logs uploaded ASAP, however as it is currently late I don't really want to go ringing people to wait for the call to drop at some random point. I am also happy to provide any additional information which may be required to diagnose the issue, for starters here is the log from when I ran the network connectivity troubleshooter last time it disconnected in this way: http://pastebin.com/2zi99XyY
Thank you for any help you can provide,

UWGreat ! Glad for you and your friend that the issue has been resolved. Enjoy Skyping !

NO SOUND ON DV6, BUT STRANGELY WORKS WHEN SKYPE CALLS ARE ON

Hi,
I have gone tried many of the things that were provided in these forums but nothing has helped so far. There is no playback from the speakers, so I assumed the speakers were dead and started using external speakers, but strangely the playback started working when I made a skype call.
Any sounds played from media players, websites or any other source work properly when a skype call is being made.
As soon as the call is disconnected, everything stops.
What is the skype call triggering that enables the audio to play.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled IDT drivers, tried all sorts of configuration settings, but nothing has worked so far.
What is the problem here and how can it be fixed???
Please help!!

While in a Skype call in Windows 8, the volume of other sounds lowers

Hi everyone,
I am reposting an issue ride is experiencing when using Skype in Windows 8. Ride writes:
I am having a problem when using Skype as well. While taking a Skype call, sounds on other programs are lowered in volume. I have selected "do nothing" in the sound card communications settings section, but the problem still persists. Is there any way to fix this? I am using windows 8 with a Compaq CQ45 computer.
Hi ride,
I've noticed that the Skype app on the Windows 8 Start screen does not do all the things that the desktop version of Skype for Windows 8 does. I heartily recommend installing the desktop version of Skype, as well as the Start screen app, and logging in to both. That way you'll still get updates in your live tile on the Start screen, and you will still be able to get voice messages on your desktop version of Skype. It's the best of both worlds.
I managed to listen to an online radio station full blast while making a Skype call. Here's what I did:
First, I installed both the Skype app and the desktop version of Skype for Windows 8 (get the directions in the Installing and setting up Skype for Windows 8 and the Installing and setting up Skype for Windows desktop sections of the Using Skype to Make Voice and Video Internet Calls (Windows 8) document.)
Then, like you, I selected the Do nothing radio button on the Communications tab of Sound menu (press the Windows + W keys; type Sound into the search field; and then click Sound in the search results.) I then restarted my computer.
I made a Skype call using the desktop version, and then made a new Skype call from the Start menu app. That's when I started noticing that the volume of the radio station was not reduced. Also, when a friend sent an instant message, I heard the little ping sound full blast.
I'm not entirely sure why that all worked, but it did, and I hope it works for you, too. Will you reply to this post to let me know if it helps you?

[Issue] Skype call ends immediately on Samsung Gal...

Greetings, I'm currently having a problem with calling others on skype and recieving skype calls, and recieving notifications with skype on my mobile device.
My device specfications are:
Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-l545) w/ stock Android 4.4.2 & WiFi (home/office netowkr), Skype v5.1.0.56619
I have uninstalled skype several times, and have restarted my phone several times. The problem persisted randomly and I'm able to call echo123 on Skype sometimes.
Specifically what happens is once I make a skype phone call is, once the person whom I'm calling answers the call ends in roughly 3-5 seconds and shows my home screen wallpaper and ends in about 5 seconds. I can hear once they answer if they are talking then the skype call ends.
My second issue is I do not recieve skype notifications such as IM chats, skype calls, or any type of notificaiton on skype. I sometimes do but it is random. My connection is 500 mbps download/upload and I'm calling right near my router on Skype on my phone.
I found a solution by installing a modified version of skype on an older version but it seems to work with echo123 and does not solve the issue fully. I can't call others on my contacts nor can I recieve notifications on Skype from my phone.
Thank-you.
Kind and best regards,

Bump.

EMU 1616 with Shure58S/58SE for skype calls?

Hello!
I've sent this question to Thomann.de support, but I didn't get anything useful in return..
Basically I want to buy this bundle - http://www.musicstore.de/en_EN/LVL/_SET_-Shure-SM58SE-inkl.-Stativ-Kabel/art-PAH109
And I have a bit older version of this card (1616 instead of 1616M):
http://www.musicstore.de/en_EN/LVL/EMU-1616m-PCIe-16-In-16-Out-FX/art-PCM0008873-000
Will this microphone work on skype, for voice calls?...
Usual PC microphones don't work with 1616 card (as they are not active microphones). My work involves skype calls and I can't call when 1616 is connected. At least not with usual PC microphone.
So I'm using integrated sound card for quite a while...
Will this mic work for this? Please advise.
Best wishes,
Aleks

You and I had the good sense to see tremendous value in the E-Mu 1616 MicroDock audio interface. Unfortunately, apparently few other people did, or maybe E-Mu would still be in business.
Where to start.
Until recently, I used a headset under Windows XP with no problem. Not even sure how I had Patchmix set up, but I knew NOTHING of ASIO outputs in those days, so might not even have had a Send inserted somewhere. I was able to use both a headset mic (see below), and/or a phantom-powered condenser with Skype audio-call sessions. I upgraded to Windows 7 in Jan 2013, and although I've used Skype rarely since then, my call record shows that I made a long call last summer, so it must have worked. In the fall, I updated what may have been a very old version of Audacity, and suddenly could no longer get 1616 sound into Audacity. I've since learned that Audacity doesn't support ASIO, and apparently there's no other way to interface them. (Using properly matched ASIO "send" inserts, I can still use my mics with Pro Tools.) I also use a product called Total Recorder, which I generally have set up to record from "software" (as opposed to a mic input), and used to regularly put me on one channel and the other person on the other channel.
Now I find that Skype doesn't hear the 1616. Total Recorder doesn't (although their earnest support dept has assured me it should, and should not depend on getting the sound via ASIO -- I have yet to check their report fully, but my first try was unsuccessful). And the Skype situation is a total mystery -- it says my microphone is working properly, but neither the Call Quality record/play test, nor the test call will hear it, whatever I have tried. (And I swear I've tried and triple checked everything, even removing other recently added audio software and reverting to a week-old Restore Point. (I dare not go back months, if that is even possible.)
Skype does "hear" a USB headset that I plugged in just for testing. Windows foudn and loaded drivers for it, and I made a successful test call. Although of course in comparison, the headset's audio sucked.
So, although I have no hands-on experience with the SM58 my short answer is: Yes, it should work with any professional dynamic or condenser mic. But in my case, it still does, but Skype suddenly does not work with it.
Supposedly "correct" configuartion for Skype.
http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=87610
To use an ordinary telephone headset with the MicroDock, you need an amplifier of sort between them. (Which was news to me until a guy deep in Plantronics nicely explained -- apparently headphones use an electret approach?) With suitable mono/stereo adapters etc., an Andrea APS-100 Battery Box should do the trick. I got mine from eMicrophones, but a search may turn up other current sources. About $12 plus shipping. It uses a AAA battery, and fidelity is okay for phone use. I don't know if it would be the correct solution (or at all a solution) for a low-output (cheap tape recorder) dynamic mic. That probably would call for a conventional pre-amp of some kind, although the mic I just tried seems to give signal enough.
By the way, I tried your link to the 1616m and succeeded in putting into a cart, where it says they have it "in stock." Some nerve! Okay, a bit of thanks to Creative Inc. for not doing away with the E-MU site entirely, but how does anyone have the chutzpah to sell the thing when there is no support, no "official" driver (just a 2010 beta and 2009 documentation), nobody there, no active forms or email, and their forum is virtually dormant?

Hi, I have an iPhone 4 which rings people when it is locked, whether or not in my pocket. I always lock it when not using it. Can anyone help? It is calling random numbers, not the last person or anyone even recently called on my recents list. Thanks

Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

Solution below.
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Skype call to mobile is connected to mobile's voic...

When I call my wife's AT&T Nokia 6350 from my Windows 7 PC, the call is connected to her voice mailbox instead of her phone's voice mail. A call to my exact same model cell phone is connected to my phone's voice mail correctly. The PC is running Skype 5.3.0.116.
This anomaly only occurs when I dial from my PC, or FREETALK using Skype. If I call her phone from our landline using FREETALK with the # prefix, to force a landline call, or if I call from our landline with FREETALK disconnected, or from my cell phone, then the call is correctly connected to her phone's voice mail.
These symptoms seem to point to some anomoly in the Skype dialing. If the Skype experts believe that this may be an AT&T problem then please provide the exact dialing sequence, as that will probably be the first information that AT&T will ask for.
Thanks.

Skype/Facetime keeps disconnecting my connection?

Skype/Facetime has always been working without any problems for me until yesterday (Mon, Feb 18 2013). Every time I'm using Skype or Facetime and I'm connected into a call, it works for a good 5 minutes or so and suddenly disconnects me on Skype & puts me offline & when it does that, it also disconnects my connection. I'm using a WIFI connection on my macbook pro but it's a locked one with a security password so only me & my family have access to this connection. I've tried checking if it was my WIFI that was causing this problem but my WIFI seem's to be perfectly fine. I'm able to use Safari or any other applications without any disconnecting problems, but when it comes to Skype/Facetime, 5 minutes into a video call, it ends the call and disconnects my wifi and I have to restart my macbook in order to make the connection work again but if I go back on Skype/Facetime, it disconnects again. I've tried updating my software and the applications and it still has the same problems.. Can anyone help me please?

Post in the Skype forums and also on the Facetime for Mac community forum area. There may be Skype users there too.
