[SOLVED] Skype, robotic voice

Hello, I am using pulseaudio and everything is fine with my microphone in every app except skype. In skype my voice is robotic and I can't figure out why this is happening.
I tried to google it but couldn't find any solution.

I saw it here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … _crackling
In my config there already is following:
### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available
.ifexists module-udev-detect.so
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
.else
### Use the static hardware detection module (for systems that lack udev support)
load-module module-detect
.endif
And i have this module. I tried to replace it to just load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0, but it didn't help.

Blue Yeti Pro Microphone robot voice

For some reason when I record using my Blue Yeti Pro microphone, it's a lot of times a robot voice. I really can't figure out what's the problem, no matter what USB wire I use. I often record my screen using Screenflow, it records it like a robot voice, since a few days, before it didn't do that. I've tried connecting the USB to my keyboard and my mac, it doesn't work, sometimes it won't even output or input anything. Also when I skype or use teamspeak, other say that after a while I sound like a robot, this really bugs me, I just recorded over 3 hours for youtube, after I had finished, I realised my voice was like a robot all the time, I raelly get ****** of this.

Hi Tom,
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back

I am trying to simulate the robot voice synthesizer sound that is produced by that electronic voice simulator after someone as had their voice box removed. The vocal transformer insert in Logic Pro doesn't quite do it. Suggestions?

Try one of the Audio Voice Effects like Alien / Cosmic / Robot… etc. to start with…

Since when did Siri get a robotic voice?

I don't know if this is an issue with 6.0.1, or the full restore I did on the iPhone 5, or Apple tweaked something when they launched iTunes 11, but Siri suddenly sounds horrible. She sounds like the robot voice from a late 90's automated customer service menu. Is there a fix in the works? Why isn't this being publicized? It's been observed on my device for over 24 hours.

It is an issue with your iOS install/restore not iOS in general. Restore it again.

Anything new on the Robot Voice in Mumble, Ventrilo?

I still get the laughable but unintellible Robot Voice when usng Mumble (it also happens in Ventrilo) sporadically while gaming. Wondering if there are any solutions yet. I've posted about this before and read all I can from others with the same issues and no joy.... It goes away as fast as it appears but it's bad if I'm saying "Heal me! Heal me!"

Hmm. Has that actually worked for anyone? The posts I've read here (at least for those w/o Snow Leopard) only mention it as something that HASN'T.
Has method of putting the computer to sleep had any relevance? Is this something I should take to some level of official Apple folk? I really hope they're working on it (it seems to have existed in Leopard for quite a while now, though if it's happening more often with Snow Leopard, I'm hoping that creates new impetus).

Robotic voice narrates everything I do on my Leopard

A few days ago, a voice suddenly started speaking from my computer (Mac Leopard) as I type. I have never experienced this up until now (the computer is only a few months old) and it still works fine, only I have this robotic voice chiming in as I type. How do I get rid of this?

In system preferences there's a Universal button. turn off voice over.

Annoying Robotic Voice on Phone

I have a Motorola Rival and don't like listening to the annoying robotic voice which speaks every time I scroll to a new function. How do I de-activate it without putting the entire phone on silent?

Go to your phone's main Menu >> Phone Settings >> Voice Commands >> Prompts and make your selections. Mine are set to tones only.
Another route to get there is Menu >> Tools >> Voice Commands >>then right soft key Settings >> look at the options available and make your selections.
HTH,

Robotic voice won't shut up!

This happens if I plug earbuds in iPod while it's playing a song: loud robotic voice reads my menus drowning out music. How can I turn it off?

I have received 3 answers to my question. All are either wrong or somehow don't apply to my iPod Touch or my version of iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes and I'm assuming that I'm getting updates to my iPod Touch software when I plug it into my computer. I have OS 10.6.8.
•The first suggests that I access iTunes and go to a Sync menu. I can't find any Sync menu either under Preferences or the menu bar at the top. Or for that matter under the Devices column at the left. Under Devices showing my iPod there is an Info menu which has some Sync settings, but no VoiceOver.
•The second suggests that I go to Settings (presumabley in the iPod) and find Accessibility under the General menu. There is no item 'Accessibility' under the General menu.
•The third says to hold the Home button until the Voice Control screen appears. When I hold down the Home button no Voice Control screen (or anything else) appears.
Perhaps I'm overlooking something. That happens to me often. But so far none of the suggestions has worked. I would love to hear what I'm doing wrong. Perhaps if someone could be more precise in outlining exactly how to find the VoiceOver checkbox. Thanx.

Skype Robotic Sounds & Voice Delay Problems

Hi
I've recently downloaded the latest version of Skype. Although others can hear me very clearly (and have no problems with other Skype users) the sound on my side comes through as garbled and robotic noises.
Any idea what steps I can take to try and troubleshoot this? My internet connection is fine and I have no other programmes running in the background.
Thanks
Nick

Hi all,
I am having a similar problem with my Mac Air computer... Sometimes, when I run the skype and try to talk with someone, the person that is trying to hear me cannot... My voice appear as a robotic and Its impossible to have a conversation... The other person cannot hear anything that I am trying to say... At the first time I thought is a memory problem... But without a background program and anything, the problem continues...
Could someone help me on it?
Thaks a lot.

Robotic voice messages

Hi there! I have a Skype phone number that I pay for on a yearly basis and top up with minutes once or twice a month. With that service comes voicemail, which up to this point, has worked flawlessly. However, recently voicemail messages have come through sounding robotic or digitized, and are almost impossible to understand. I called the number myself and left one to confirm that it's all voicemails that are affected. Any ideas as to why they would sound like that? I have updated to the most recent version of Skype. Thanks!

Exchangeis the message store, the messages are stored in the appropriate user's inbox.
In case of a Voicemail only Unity server, exchange is installed in the Unity box itself (typically, though Exchange can be installed offbox too). In this case voicemails will be stored in the Unity server itself.
In case of Unified messaging (or voice messaging with offbox exchange) , the message store has to be installed offbox, which means voicemails are stored in the Exchange server.
When the connection between Unity and Exchange is broken, Unity starts storing messages in UMR (local to the Unity server) and when the connection is restored, it pushes the messages back to Exchange.

[solved] skype not in repos?

Hi, I wanted to test skype in my 64 bit installation (with KDEmod, of course). Searched and found http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Skype. As per the wiki entry, though skype has only 32 bit binary, it can be run in 64 bit environment. In my system, community repo is already enabled. So I did a
sudo pacman -S skype
. But the result was
skype package not found, searching for group...
error: 'skype': not found in sync db
Funny thing is that, I am able to install skype-call-recorder even without installing skype.
What should be done to install skype now?

[Solved] Skype won't run on x86_64

[jiehan@tpx1c ~]$ sudo pacman -Q skype
skype 4.1.0.20-4
[jiehan@tpx1c ~]$ skype
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/share/skype/lib/libQtWebKit.so.4' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

[jiehan@tpx1c ~]$
Any ideas? Thanks.
UPDATE: Reinstalling lib32-alsa-lib and lib32-libxv made Skype to run. I don't know what made these packages corrupted.
However, I ran into a new issue, and this is what I get now:
[jiehan@tpx1c ~]$ skype
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/share/skype/lib/libQtWebKit.so.4' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 684: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!
UPDATE: Reinstalling lib32-alsa-plugins lib32-glib2 lib32-libogg, which seem to be corrupted on my filesystem for some reason, finally solves this issue. Thank you everyone.

[SOLVED]Skype : error while loading libjpeg8

Hi,
I have just installed archlinux (a few days ago) and all the softwares I need without any problem. Skype firstly worked fine but after a reboot, I couldn't run it. When I try to run it in terminal, I have the issue
/usr/lib32/skype/skype: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.8: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
I know that Skype for linux is a 32bit app, so I thought I had to install the 32bit libjpeg8, but I can't find it in the AUR packages (here). Anyway, it is kinda strange that it worked the first time, isn't it ?

That looks like bad practise and bad idea, pray to $DEITY that whatever you did before doesn't come back to bite you in the future. Don't mess with files tracked by pacman unless you have a very good memory and you really know what you're doing.
