When Im in a skype call it disables my sound for c...

I am using windows 7 and newest Skype version:
Ok my problem used to be whenever i would open another program it would disable my sound for a couple of seconds till the program fully loaded and my sounds would come back on but my game sounds would be off if i opened a game but now it is doing it when I close a game and it is very annoying since i usually have to close other programs and re open them to get sounds working again.
When it happens i see my sound get the red x in my task bar by the clock.  All my sound devices are disabled besides my headpohnes, i do not use my speakers or anything else besides my headphones.
I have the setting set to do nothing for the  When windows detects communication activity:
My skype audio settings are also set to my Headset as it is the only thing it allows me to select in the dop down tab and ringing is set to use selected speaker, also when it happens if i go into my skype audio settings the drop down tabs r empty and then goes back to headset after awhile.

k it is still does it if im in a call and i open a game like binding of isaac all my sounds get disabled but the skype call sound comes back and so does my itunes but the binding of isaac sounds gets muted.

  • Skype Calls messing with Windows sounds

    Dear community,Lately I've been having some trouble with Skype, mostly related to sounds. The first thing that I noticed is that it won't allow most songs in my music folders to be played: an error message appears in Media Player as if the file is not executable. Thing is, some songs will play after trying once or twice. Also, the songs that weren't "executable" will play on the first attempt after the Skype call is ended.Another thing I've come to notice is that sometimes, when a Skype call is happening, my Steam games will launch with no sound whatsoever, and it won't return unless I end the call and re-launch the game.The third thing that is bugging me is that Bandicam will fail to record any sounds if I'm in a Skype call. As soon as I end the call and re-launch Bandicam, however, it will record any and all sounds with no issues.Does anybody know how to fix this or what's causing this? It's really a pain, since I can't record, game or even listen to anything while also talking to my friends. Thank you.

  • How do I turn on sound alert for calls but turn off sound for txt

    At night, I want to be able to hear  if I get a call, but I do not want to hear if I get a txt mssg.   I went into setting/txt/sounds and turned it off, and had a ring tone selected for calls, but when I get calls I do not hear the ring tone.

    Hi,
    To do this you will need to go to Settings>Notifications>Do Not Disturb and from there sellect "Allow Calls From" to everyone. This will mean that if you schedule Do Not Disturb at Night time, only Calls will make alerts and ring whereas other notifications will be silenced.

  • 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!!

  • Why can't I be heard when making Skype calls from iPad2 or iPhone?

    Live in Costa Rica. Been making Skype calls to U.S. in excess of 5 years.  During the past 3 weeks when I make initial Skype call with my iPad2 or iPhone and I can't be heard. I "Power off" iPad or "Turn off" iPhone, then turn on one or both and attempt 2nd Skype call. I can hear the party I am calling and they can hear me.  Call quality is excellent.  iPad and iPhone software is up to date. Skype Version is latest version (4.0.1325) released on 21 May, 2012.  I have deleted App and reinstalled both numerous times. I connect using WIFI with Apple Extreme and Apple Express. I also connect to Skype using MacBook with no sound problems  

    Also sent this issue to Skype and was promised a response in 24 hours. Did not receive and decided once again to read current reviews of Skype In App Store. Did a search in App Store using "Skype", not Skype for iPad.  Apps were shown for iPad, iPhone and iPod.  Unlike the iPad App which shows "installed", the iPhone App displayed "Install". I installed the iPhone App to my iPad2. My iPad now has 2 App's installed. The iPhone Skype App display format on my iPad now looks like the Skype display before I upgraded to the current iPad version in late May. Made a call using both App's.  Still could not be heard with Skype iPad App.  Called the same individual using iPhone App installed on my iPad.  Was heard and the sound quality was excellent!  Will continue to make calls for several days before passing judgement.

  • Sign in problems when trying to use Skype WiFi

    I have a tablet that I am trying to connect to Skype WiFi and keep getting looped around to the sign-in screen.  It tells me "You're already on line", but I can't do anything after that.  I just have the "Learn More" button.  I have unstalled and installed Skype WiFi twice and it still will not open.  None of your instructions or guide are helping me.

    hi,
    The call to the function 'wwpre_api_util.get_names_table' is not returning any data. so, you are getting an exception. Try adding an exception block for NO_DATA_FOUND and print some message.

  • Windows XP sounds muted after skype call

    I have been running skype on my wndows XP system with no problem until today. I've recently updated to the latest skype (ver.7.2) and just made my first skype call since the update.
    What happened after the call is that all windows sounds have gone mute.
    I've checked all sound settings both in skype and XP, rebooted the system - nothing helps.
    But i've noticed a weird thing - when I start a skype call (e.g. sound testing service) all sounds come back on! When I end the call, the system goes mute again....
    Any ideas on how to solve the problem? I'm pretty sure it's a glitch of the latest skype version. Is there a way to roll back to the previous version?

    I have the same problem since using Skype yesterday on a laptop running Windows XP. Skype is the only program that seems to be able to produce any sound, both with onboard speakers and headphones. Does this have anything to do with the latest Skype update?

  • USB headset drops audio input during Skype call

    I just bought a new iMac. When I initiate a Skype call using the H650e, almost immediately after the call connects the H650e loses audio input. I speak into the mic but the person I'm speaking with can't hear me. When I open the audio preference pane, I see that the H650e is selected as the input device, but the levels are not registering when I speak.
    This problem is reproducible; it happens every time I use the microphone with Skype on the iMac. However, it does not happen when I use it with Skype on my Macbook Air.
    That suggests the problem might be with the iMac, but Apple is claiming they can't help because it's a non-Apple product. Logitech claims they can't help since the headset works with the Macbook Air. And Skype claims the same.
    What now?

    fyi ....
    i ran a quick repair permissions with disk utility and the problem seems to have sorted itself out. on further thought i think this started to happen after i downloaded the latest s/w update from apple - i recall a whole bundle of fixes to various powerpc issues...maybe something here upset the balance.

  • No sound on incoming Skype calls on Samsung Smart TV (UE55D8000)

    I bought a camera (CY-STC1100) for my Samsung Smart TV (UE55D8000) to Skype. I can video call  but I cannot hear the incoming call on my TV speakers. Is there a setting I am missing to increase the volume .

    Skype is designed on purpose to make use of the TV speakers and not to output any audio to external speaker systems. The reason for this is to ensure that the audio being picked up from the TV's microphone during a Skype call isn't affected the audio coming out of your TV speakers from the person at the far end of the call. If audio were allowed to be sent to external speakers (the type, placement, volume of which will vary in each living room) then it would be impossible to effectively cancel out the echo on the call and you would get terrible howling.
    However, when you make a Skype call the audio should be automatically routed to your TV speakers without you having to manually switch to them.
    Let me check with Samsung to make sure this is the case...

  • Skype calls and notifications are on headphones, e...

    I've been having this problem for quite a while now, actually, it isn't a 'problem', it would be really helpful if I could do this.
    When I watch videos or play games, I use my headphones. But when I get a Skype call or receive an IM, It sets the video/game I'm playing's audio to be played on the speakers, and not the headphones. I solve this by putting my Skype to Do Not Disturb, but I don't get notified and I miss alot of things due to the sound being muted. This has proven to be ineffective, as when I call even when in Do Not Disturb, the call is being played in my headphones, and the video/game's audio gets played on the speaker. I wish to have both my video/game's audio and Skype notifications and calls BOTH play their audio in my headphones.

  • Option to disable/change "Skype Call" keyboard shortcut

    Hi I'm using a keyboard layout that uses the key-combination "altgr+r" to write a special character that I use fairly often when chatting with people, this however is the command for "Make Skype Call" in the Skype client so every so often I accidentally make a skype call when chatting with people because of this. Why can't the keyboard shortcut be changed or disabled/removed?! This is incredibly annoying to me and disruptive to people i communicate with.
    Unless this keyboard shortcut is able to be changed/disabled I will have to start using alternative clients/services.

    Ok Alt+A is a **bleep**up on my side, it is a shortcut used by KeePass to insert credentials....but Alt+R remains

  • Skype Calls not received when MacBook Air is asleep

    My MacBook Air is running Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5 with Skype 6.14. Skype video calls are received normally with notification sounds as long as the MacBook Air is not asleep. It will also receive a video call one time while asleep if Skype has first been restarted. After that when the MacBook goes back to sleep a Skype call is ignored. I haven't been able to solve this by changing Energy Saver settings in OS System Preferences or anything in Skype Preferences. I tried deleting the Skype Preferences file plist but this didn't make a difference. Could this be related to the loss of Skype sound problem widely reported? Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated.

    Update - I ended up spending about an hour on the phone with a very helpful rep from AppleCare.  He was also stumped by this problem.  We ended up solving it by using a remote screen-share app that allowed him to see what my video card was sending to the external display, and he directed me over the phone to change the settings (quite funny really - it was literally "move your mouse up a tiny bit, now click, now left, etc).
    So, my problem is solved for now, albeit in a very cumbersome way.  Still amazed that there's no way to fix this properly.
