Wengo; Skype! No working sound device

Hi!
I tried to use wengo phone and skype on my PC but whenever I want to make a call or receive a call I can not hear anything and my mic also doesn't work. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Is it because of the old OSS? I thought wengo already uses alsa (I'm using the Beta version 2)? The sound device works fine when playing music and stuff.... it just won't work using the VoIP software!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Yes, I already installed skype-hijacker and it didn't work.
It seems that I cannot record things in general. But I already checked my settings in KMix and the mic is activated for recording. I also can hear that it's activated when testing it. I don't know why it doesn't work from within the applications.
I also cannot hear anybody in Skype or Wengophone but listening to music is not a big deal (I don't do this the same time, VoIP and listening to music so the apps don't have to share any ressource)....
What else could it be?

I just put Facetime on my MacBook and Ipad. I can connect and recieve video but no sound. The other person can hear me. If I use Skype everything works fine. I can't find any where in Facetime to change settings for the audio. Any suggestions

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

My sound device does not work after yesterdays update

after the last update my sound device is out of system.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB) is working with this USB device without any problem

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

Satellite U400-17R - Sound device is not working after installing XP

Hi there,
I purchased a U400-17R Model with Vista Home. i Formatted it and installed Windows XP Professional downloading the XP drivers from Toshiba site.
Everything works but my Sound Device is not working. when i check in the Device Manager the Sound Drivers are there and it says working properly.
I am Lost...Can anyone please help?

Hi!
On Windows XP you have to install two patches from the Microsoft Knowledge Base for high definition audio cards. If you only have SP1 or SP2 you need the patches but if you have SP3 you dont need it because they are a part of SP3.
Both patches or SP3 must be installed *first* and then the sound driver. So if you have installed the sound driver first you must remove it and then install the patches again. After this it should work with the sound:

Skype stops all sounds from working.

(my internet was broken last night so sorry for not replying)
No that is not it my symbols exist on all frames.

In My IPhone the sound device not working properly. I can here the sound through head set only.kindly send an idea ti solve this problems

Hello. I sent my WRT1900AC V1 to Linksys four days ago (Monday) via UPS with a RMA. Linksys paid the shipping and everything. The router is still in route, and it should arrive to their offices tomorrow. Once they receive the WRT1900 AC V1, they are going to send me an EA8500 as a replacement. But I have been reading the comments about the EA8500 here in the forum and it seems to have the same problems. I guess the firmware is extremely flawed in both routers (maybe it is almost the same code?). Anyway, I will try the EA8500 and I hope it works. I bought a temporary router from Walmart and I paid $35 for it. It is a Belink N600 DB. I can't believe that a $35 router is working a lot, lot, lot better than my previous $250 WRT1900AC router. Unbelievable. If the EA8500 doesn't work, I'm going to try and get my money back from Linksys, or contact The Consumerist or someone to get my money back and get a Nighthawk instead.

Multiple sound devices mayhem (wiki not helping)

In my computer, there are 3 things wanting to pretend to be sound devices:
*) The motherboard (HDA Intel PCH ALC892)
*) The USB webcam, logitec quickcam 9000 Pro --> Microphone only, yet this thing manages to confuse Linux into thinking it's a soundcard, thereby disabling all sound
*) The nvidia graphics card. Don't ask me how a graphics card can make sound, but does a hdmi port maybe have the ability to make sound or so??
Anyway, while using Skype, sometimes microphone works, sometimes it doesn't. I want my own microphone (plugged into the motherboard on the rear side) as mic, NOT the webcam, and definitely not the graphics card. Sometimes, the microphone is device 0,0, sometimes it's 1,0, and sometimes it's called "default".
Also, whenever booting into KDE, it gives some window about "forgetting" sound devices it detected last time.
Every boot, they're all there, but I think they sometimes swap positions or names.
I actually want ONLY the motherboard as sound device, and want Linux to treat the webcam as video only, and the graphics card as graphics only. And I want it to stabilize, so that I make it work in alsamixer, xmms and skype ONCE, and then it remains working forever without randomly changing.
Any ideas what I can do here? Thanks!
The wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … chitecture) isn't helping, it's asking to edit a file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf that doesn't exist and isn't very clear about what format the name of the sound device to give should be, and the alsaconf they mention in the wiki is now disabled in arch...

You can also give your different sound devices fixed indices (fixed order). If not exists, create a file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf or whatever .conf and define the order of sound slots:
#/etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-usb-audio,...
First slot: card 0, second slot: card 1, ...
There is another handy option to give your devices neat custom names like
#/etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-usb-audio,...
options snd-hda-intel id="onboard"
options snd-usb-audio id="logitec"
Hope this helps!
Edit: more about multiple sound devices here at the alsa wiki.

Gnome sound recorder killed my working sound setup

Cut a long story short, I've had skype working with my mic for a week. Decided I'd record something, opened up gnome sound recorder, after recording 2 tracks successfully all of a sudden it stopped working, now my mic will not work in any application, I have fiddled with all my alsamixer settings and I can't get it to work again. Very very frustrated, I was making a lot of skype calls as my phone line just got disconnected by a storm and now I can't. i can't figure it out, does gnome sound recorder change some alsa setting??? My 5.1 surround stopped working as well, but that may be from me desperately trying alsamixer settings. I have a SB live 5.1. I tried the mic in another computer and it works.
Any help really appreciated.
Cheers

If the device is there, it could still be a mixer setting some setting of the program you are trying to use.
What programs are you trying to get your mic working with? If it just doesn't work with Skype or the sound recorder it might be that the program is listening on the wrong channel. The gnome sound recorder for example can listen on the wave-channel, the cd-channel, the microphone, etc. etc., while programs like TS2 can listen on what they call different devices. Had some trouble with TS because of that at first because with the standard setting, my wave- and microphone-record-channel were linked - with the third of a total of three settings it worked just the way it should.
If it's a mixer setting you can't resolve with the gnome volume manager maybe try gamixer. It's the best mixing program I know. Can't find the homepage, but here's a working link with reference to dependencies.http://www.t2-project.org/packages/gamix.html

Skype stopped working on ipod touch w 4.3.5?

My skype stopped working on my ipod touch (3rd gen), maybe when I upgraded the ipod touch software to iOS 4.3.5. I have looked everywhere online for an answer (well, looked in the places I could think of). If, for example, I delete my Skype app and re-install it (from my ipod touch device), it doesn't fix the problem.
If I delete my Skype app from iTunes on my laptop and re-install it on my laptop, and then sync it to my ipod touch, this doesn't seem to fix it.
Finally (and I don't know how I did this, as can't seem to find other references to this, I went to safari and googled my problem, from my device. I received a 'skype blue' page stationg 'skype isn't available for your phone' (heading), then 'Due to a mobile upgrade? why not find an iphone, Android or
Symbian phone that works with skype? etc etc. Obviously this is not the right spot (apart from the bleeding obvious, ie that skype doesn't work any more). I am not using it from a smart phone.
when I install or re-install skype on my ipod touch, and click on the skype logo, the skype welcome page has 'skype name' and 'skype password' but I can't enter any data, nor can I hit the 'sign in'. The only thing that works is 'create account' (which I don't want to do, obviously, as already have a skype account).
Any suggestions (written Saturday 3 September 2011). thanks very much
Perhaps the answer lies in returning to an older software version (iOS I mean)? But can only see how to 'restore factory settings' so presumably that would be to a much older software version (or not fix the problem). As you can tell, I may be talking rubbish, sorry.
ps - I have 'flashed my firmware' once some time ago on a laptop I had (PC), but I would be hesitant to try something dramatic, given my lack of knowledge!
FINALLY (promise) in the drop-down box below, after choosing my Product, when choosing Operating System, the highest choice is '4.3.3'. I have 4.3.5 I think. Maybe THIS IS MY PROBLEM??

OH MY GOODNESS, apart from now realising that I wrote way too much (sorry), I have just fixed it (after 1 week of trying, within minutes of posting my first query above). Sorry folks, I told you I had no idea. I won't confess what I did to fix it, unless someone asks me. thanks, Caroline in Sydney

Apps not showing up in privacy settings, Skype not working

Skype was working okay, but today, when I tried to call someone from my phone, it said i had to allow skype to use the mic, but I had already done that. I still went to privacy settings, but no apps showed up there. But on the camera, while I had multiple apps that use it, none showed up either. In fact, tthe only privacy setting working right was location services!

Hi SebaJK7,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, programs are not being listed in settings to use certain features. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Issues with External Sound Devices & others - 13" Late 2011

Good day community,
Out of curiosity, I run Diablo 3 on OS X and its been unplayable since ROS expansion, massive fps drops and crashes, Blizzard claims Apple stopped improving hd3000 drivers on 10.8.3, is this true? Also when I run the game through windows via bootcamp it performs better and doesn't not crash, is this related to hd3000 driver support still being improved in windows?
Other issues I'm experiencing, facetime most of the time fails if I try to pickup a call from the macbook, sometimes it notifies me of the incoming call (iphone 5s) sometimes it doesn't. Bluetooth doesn't work, not even with apple devices, I can't pair any of them. External sound devices such as m-audio fast track pro, native instruments audio 8 dj, allen & heath xone 4d, they all have latency issues and sound clips and pops, even with the onboard sound I experience this if I open a couple graphic editing software while playing itunes. Checked sample rate in audio/midi setup, drivers, firmware, everything seems up to date, I'm not using a USB hub, I updated to Yosemite from Mavericks, which was a terrible upgrade from Mountain Lion and it completely lagged the computer, so when I upgraded to Yosemite I ran disk utility from boot and apparently repaired the hard drive successfully. Performance is better but none of the above issues were solved.
So I'm thinking about formatting from scratch but wanted to drop a line here and see if others have any of these issues and/or some tips.
Thank you for your time.

Default Sound device with attached USB devices

Hi,
my situation: i've got an iMac 27" with an attached 24" cinema display (using display port and usb). Also i've plugged in a usb headset (headphone with microphone).
Whenever booting up Mac OSX 10.6.4 (also happened to older version of Mac OSX, at least all 10.6.x versions) OSX sets the default audio device (input, output and system sounds) to the cinema displays audio device. No matter what i choose as the default sound device i have to reset it after every boot.
Does anyone know how to come around this? I know i can easily set the device by alt clicking on the speaker symbol in the menu, i know there are tools out there like SoundSource that let me even more easily set the sound device but all i want to have is a default sound device that doesn't get overridden on every boot.
Any help?

All right, I seem to have solved it. The fact that it was only working using plughw: should have tipped me off, but at any rate, this is my working ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:1,0"
ctl.!default {

External sound device stuttering

I have an imac (2011) i believe. I own an an external usb sound device, specifically a lexicon alpha. It has been working fine but recently it started to stutter when i try to playback. My internal sound is fine and I tried the lexicon alpha on a pc and it worked fine. Do I have a corrupt file or something?

usb sound devices are usb audio cards and audio cards require drivers
and if the device have a poorly written osx driver then that would happen
I would look into what audio chip lexicon use and check if I could use a driver
from another usb sound card using the same audio chip
