Skype installed now have noise

Having set up the microphone and speakers for Skype I do not seem to have any way of turning off the annoying background noise which appears to be coming from the speakers. There is also some instability (screech) from feedback thorugh the system.
ProBook 4710s. Any help appreciated.

That's odd.  If Skype installed correctly, you should be able to make adjustments to both audio and video (both allow you to choose camera and microphone you want to use if you have more than one on your system).
My recommendation would be to uninstall Skype, reinstall it, and go through the steps in the setup window (you can check speakers, microphone, and video there).
Everything should not be grayed out in Skype.  The free features should be availabe (skype-to-skype calls, calling toll free numbers, Help, Tools, etc).

  • 10.10.3 keeps installing, now have it 3 times and it still wants to install. Any suggestions?

    Update 10.10.3 has now installed 3 times and still it wants to install. What can I do?

    Were you installing using the App Store? If so it may have timed out but still given you confirmation in the update window.
    Check by clicking on About This Mac under the Apple menu item. The first splash screen will tell you what version you are running.
    If it is still the previous version then i would suggest to download this from Apples support and download page as it is quicker and more reliable.

  • 8.1 Pro install now have no audio and video play

    I have an older G60-443cl and changed out the HDD for a SDD.  Installed a new version of Windows 8.1 Pro.  Everything works but my audio and video.  The audio drivers are installed and working properly (according to my system) but even on the speaker icon where you adjust the volume there is no sound not even the little beep when you change the volume.  I went to my adminastrative tools and checked and the following is what i guess i should have:
    Open windows Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and open Services.  Check that the following services are all showing as Status= Started and Startup Type= Automatic
    Audio Service
    Multimedia Class Scheduler
    Windows Audio
    Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
    I have all of the item but the top one Audio Service????     Help!!!!! Please!

    Hi @L1215 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a grand place to find answers and information!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I grasp that after changing the drive to a SSD and installing Windows 8.1 Pro you lost your audio.  Drivers are showing as installed and working properly but you have not audio.
    When I checked the driver page for your notebook I noticed that Windows 8.1 is not a supported Operating System.  With this being said HP does not provide the drivers as it is an untested OS on your system.  OEM's may and sometimes do alter drivers to perform correctly with your system.

    I have an iPhone 3G and I had skype installed before it updated to v.4. Now, during a backup, iTunes tells me i can no longer run Skype on my iPhone because the latest version of Skype is not compatible. Is there any way I can install an older version?

    How can I contact Viber support? When I go to their website there's no such thing as 'email us' or 'contact us'.
    They may have a do-it-yourself troubleshoot system but that doesnt help my problem at all.

  • Installed Skype and now Flash Player won't open in new window

    I installed the latest version of Skype and now Flash Player does not work properly.
    I just bought a new laptop, it has Windows 7, 32 bit, IE 9, and Flash 10.
    A website that I go to all the time uses Flash Player so when you click on a link in the site it pops out the player into a new window and you can listen while you still browse on their site.  After I installed Skype last night, that 'pop-out' function is no longer there.  The player now replaces the webpage and it is very large and distorted because it is supposed to be in a small pop-out window.  No matter what I click, I can't get the link to open in a new window, it always opens in the same window replacing the webpage.
    I uninstalled Skype and then used the manual uninstaller of Flash because the uninstall would not work from the uninstall screen in Windows.  I then reinstalled the latest version of Flash Player and I still have the same problem.
    Is this a setting that I can change somewhere??
    Thank you.

    Hi eidnolb, thanks for the reply.
    I did uninstall the google toolbar that was installed with skype.
    I now found that it is not just flash player that won't open in a new window, I can't get any link at all to open in a new tab or a new window.
    I tried restoring IE's settings and that did not work.
    I know this is an adobe forum and my problem is now much larger than just adobe, but if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    building
    insurance

    My problem is to arrange these mailboxes/folders in an alphabetical order under the [email protected] account

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

  • Had PSE 8 installed on PC Windows 7 with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If I install PSE 12 or Lightroom on this Mac can I use the cat. backup from Windows or must I start from scratch

    Had pse 8 on a Windows 7 PC with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If install pse 12 or Lightroom on the Mac will I be able to use the old catalog backup or must I start from scratch.

    If you made a full catalog backup using the organizer's backup command, and you did it to a removable drive, yes, you can restore it to the mac. A backup made on discs will not work, though.

  • I did Archive & Install with "preserve users", why do I now have NO users?

    After a hard crash on my mom's PowerBook G4 (running 10.4.11) I eventually did an OS 10.4 Archive & Install with "preserve users". I now have NO users, not even an administrator, what should I do?  The only indication I see that anything was remembered is the login screen does say:
    Mac OS X
    Jane Brown's Computer
    (But as I recall, there's a bug that sometimes that personalized text sticks around forever once it's set the first time in the OS)
    None of the login names or passwords I remember work. I checked using a boot DVD with the "Reset Password" utility, but the only user it sees is "System Administrator (root)".
    I can think of 2 options from here, but I'd like advice, or another option. One...I could somehow force Setup Assistant to run (how?), create a new administrator, and then do...some process to get back the one user setup I care about (my mom...her files, etc)? 
    Or two...I'm not a COMPLETE idiot with Unix (but close)...could I find an old, working Netinfo db and restore it and fix things that way?  I did that years ago, following instructions. I don't know if there is a working Netinfo around though.  In single-user mode I tried "ls" while in /var/backups/ and saw nothing at all.
    The history of how/why I did the Install:
    My mom's system freaked-out and crashed hard during normal operation (she was just launching AppleWorks)...subsequently all attempts to boot left it at a completely black screen with a single white cursor block in the upper left. No prompt though, and unresponsive to anything I typed, so I wasn't in a normal Darwin. The only way it could be powered-down was to hold down the power key for 10 seconds.
    I tried various things...reset PRAM, used "Disk Utility" from a boot DVD (it found no disk problems...though Repair Permissions refused to run, it kept losing connection to the HD), Safe-Booting (which didn't work, it hung with a blue screen, gray Apple logo, no spinning gear), etc. Nothing worked. Booting in verbose mode did go part way, then it stopped with some kind of disk I/O complaint.  I forgot to write it down. My guess, since disk repair found no disk problem, that an OS file was corrupt, and trying to read that resulted in an I/O error.
    So I did an Archive & Install with "preserve users".  All seemed to go ok. Until I tried to login.

    I followed the steps, the new accounts are there, but they aren't working properly. The primary account worked ok once.
    Based on the behavior of 2 accounts (primary admin, + my mom's), even under Safe Boot, it seems like there's something that's failing during login that causes all attempts to login to succeed partway, then crash, and throw me back to re-login.
    What happened: I had reset the Netinfo, & created a first admin matching before. After a long time, I got a normal desktop (& it had the desktop icons & Dock layout of the previous primary account).  I created the next 3 users (there were no gaps), and then set it to auto-login to my mom (standard user).
    If I Safe Boot so I can try logging-in as the original admin, I get a menubar, a customized Dock (with an odd, empty white square in place of one of the icons), and a spinning beachball against an empty desktop for a while, then it drops me back to the login screen. Same thing if I try my mom's account while Safe Booted.
    I have a 2nd admin account, if I try that while Safe Booted, I get a menubar, empty desktop, and an endless spinning beachball. I have to hold down the power key to shutdown.
    I tried holding the shift key immediately after login (disable startup items) to see if that helps, but it didn't. Doesn't even seem to work right, because when I boot normally to auto-login to my mom's account, even with shift, her startup item is still launching (a simple app that timestamps a file).
    If I don't Safe Boot...it does auto-login to her account, I get a beachball, it slowly builds her entire desktop back just the way it used to be (desktop icons, customized Dock)...then it crashes to a blank blue login type screen and tries all over again, endlessly trying to login, crash, try again. I have to use the power key to force a shutdown.
    Force Quit (via the keyboard) never helps in any of the situations, I get no popup window.
    I did use Disk Utility again to see if it repaired anything, but all it fixed were a few permissions, which didn't change anything.
    What next? What would you suggest now?  They're almost working. Is there a log I can examine in single-user mode that would tell me what's failing during login? Should I reset the Netinfo db again and re-create users? Do I need to install again? Preserving or not-preserving users?
