Problem with Playback device on windows 10

Just today i downloaded the new Windows 10 update and i like it for the most part. But i went on skype today for a video chat and a pop up came up saying that i have a problem with playback device and i cannot video or voice call. skype worked fine yesterday on windows 8, need solutions ASAP.

Do minimize the chances of having issues with other audio/video devices: 1. Uninstall Cyberlink Webcam Splitter. It my not work properly in Windows 10.2. Disable Stereo Mix. You can also download and install the latest Realtek Driver suite even if you have the latest/same drivers installed. The suite can resolve issues. Download and install the latest generic Realtek audio drivers (High Definition Audio Codecs - 64bit Windows 10)http://www.realtek.com/downloads/ I've outlined most of the causes and solutions here:http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Problem-With-Playback-device/m-p/3356467/highlight/true#M282763

Problem with playback device message..

problem with playback device message.. been reading up about this problem but so far nothing has worked for me.. i have windows 7. Been trying to find the place in here to get some help but have no idea how this works. So if someone reads this.. please HELP me. Cheers

What OS are you running? What's the model of your computer/audio device? What does Skype list as your playback/recording device?

Problem with playback Device please help

When im talking to someone on skype i cant listen to anything else but the skype call. If im listening to music or watching a video and i try to call somebody it says problem with payback device and won't let me call or answer a call. What do i do?

I'm also having this problem, but with a fun side effect; if a program is running outside of the windows "desktop" app (so, for example, if the Skype app is making 'message recieved' noises) they'll still play. I have Windows 8, and I've seen some solutions about resetting the audio endpoint builder, but I don't know how to do that on Windows 8 and I can't find anything that'll tell me.

Problems with Playback Device ?

Im using Skype for desktop and it doesnt make the noises when I receive a message. I tried checking if the noise all together wasn't working and when I tried called the Echo / Sound Test Service it told me there were problems with the playback device. The sound works fine on other apps it's just that it doesn't seem to work on Skype. I went on the sounds tabs in the options menu and I selected the correct device to play the sound with but it still won't work. I am using an ASUS laptop.

Solutions to "Problem with playback/recording devi...

I've only had a few microphone/audio problems with a friend on Skype not being able to hear me or vice versa, nothing that couldn't be fixed. Usually the call would at least pick up even if there was no sound going through. But just out of the blue two days ago (Monday, May 4th), when my friend tried to call me, the call dropped without any explanation. I tried also to call, but then every time, it wouldn't even last long enough to ring and it would just drop. It kept having a notification saying "Problem with playback device" or "Problem with recording device". I've tried signing out of Skype, restarting my computer, checking all monitor audio levels, etc... I always keep my Skype up to date, but I checked again for any new in case that would allow the call to go through, but it didn't, even after I updated it to the lastest version 7.4.0.102. I tried calling Skype Testing Service a million times, but still the call won't even stay on long enough for me to read what it says under the microphone and speaker box after clicking on the connection icon; all I have time to see is "can't access sound card". The thing is, I can hear the millisecond of ringing tone, the sound it makes when the call drops, and all other sound Skype makes, so it's not a question of all sounds being on mute, but for some reason it says I have a problem with playback and recording device! Why is that?? I already searched here in the community Q&As for possible solutions to fixing the problem, but double-checking the audio settings under Tools > Options has not changed anything unfortunately. PLEASE HELP!!!

I've never seen that message. What exactly did it say? You're using the native media from the T3i, it hasn't been converted, it's never been inside of Final Cut Pro?

Windows 10 Calls dropped problem with recording device

I now there are others experiencing this issue. Though, however not only when either I call someone or they call me the call drops and "problem with recording device" error message is displayed. It is also stating to those trying to call me or answering my call that I can only accept IMs.Can someone please help as its starting to become a complete waste of my time. I am running Windows 10 and Skype Version: 7.7.0.103

Problem with recording device

Try to use Echo/Sound test service, as well as a couple friends on the list and get the following message "Problem with recording device". I have also searched in the community, but found many issues releated, but no solutions that fit the problem. Headset: Turtle Beach XP SevenSkype Version: 6.22.81.105Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1; 64 - bit Tested in sound recorder, and records my voice, and able to playback and hear my horrible singing. I did find a rather odd way to resolve the issue temporarily. I also use hangouts from time to time, and when I start a video call, it will ring, and send out, and I can then call out using skype to a friend/sound test and it will work fine for the rest of the call. Able to talk, and do whatever. Unfortunatley, with the listed method above I have to repeat the process everytime I want to make a call, or accept someones call. Rather... Annoying. Any solution to this, or what can be causing this issue?

I suggest you download and install the latest generic Realtek audio drivers as they should be compatible with the computer model you listed in a previous post. I run a similar model to that one and have no issues with it. Skype is rather resource intensive on that netbook when participating in video calls due to the limitations of the processor and onboard video chipset. The latest generic Realtek audio drivers (Select "High Definition Audio Codecs" - 32 bit Windows 7)http://www.realtek.com/downloads/okay, i have pretty much given up trying to use Skype on this netbook but i came back to report the known data just in case anyone else might find it useful. to begin with 1) let's get this upfront. i am ignorant, ill-informed, tech-illerate and stupid. i stipulate to this going in. i've NO idea what the hell i'm doing. 2) hardware = ASUS eeePC1005HA, Win7Starter32, 1G DDR2, Intel Atom280, 250GHDD 3) per the above suggestion i went to the RealTek site and looked for the driver, but first 4) i had SlimDriver look around for me and it said there was a newer driver (i think dated 2011) which i had it download & install 5) so that didn't seem to make the slightest difference in Skype performance (i.e. none) so 6)as in (3) above i went to http://152.104.125.41/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false and it offered me 2 choices of sites from which to download Version R2.78 for 32bit Win7 so i picked one at random and it downloaded 2 files, 1 a .exe and the other a PART which i have no idea what the hell that is. i barely know enuf to double clic on the filename in WinExplorer Downloads so that's what i did first on the .exe file cuz that one had a file size greater than zero (unlike the PART file) and got an error message saying Win7 didn't know what to do with this file and could i please suggest a software to use on it. 7) so i deleted it and started over with the same result and then i repeated step 7) only this time i got only the .exe file in my Downloads folder and when i double-clicked it i actually got the Install Wizard to run. 9) so while the Wizard was running i went and looked in my "Windows 7 In Depth" by Cowart & Knittel and found nothing in the index under RealTek so i went and looked at Drivers and based on clues i found there i went to Control Panel ->Hardware & Sound -> Device Manager ->RealTek HD Audio [hidden under expandable Processors - Sound, Video & game conrollers]->(LeftClick to get Update Driver Software), and wait about a year and a half for 'Onliine Search for Software', followed by the message "the best driver software for your device is already installed". 9)so by this time the Install Wizard has finished Uninstalling the previous version of the driver and wants me to RESTART and that's right now in real time so i am now closing this browser and if i ever finish restarting i will continue this response in a new reply window starting with step (10), whatever that turns out to be. the suspense is killing me.

Skype Problem with recording device

After the windows 10 update it keeps saying "Problem with recording device" my camera works but, my microphone doesn't it worked fine before. The thing I use is a really old camera I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Due to the age of the camera and lack of support from Creative your options are limited. I would suggest you connect the device directly to a free USB port on your machine. If you share it with several devices on a hub or extension the device can easily work intermittently. That type of issue can cause the audio to fail to be initialized, creating the problem. This can also occur if the audio half or both halves of the camera/cabling is intermittently failing as well. You have the option of switching to the generic Microsoft Video and Audio drivers to see if that helps as well. Below is a graphic on you how to update the drivers to the generic "USB Video Device". You can do the exact same thing for the audio half of the camera by updating it to "USB Audio Device" (which is what you might want to try first in this scenario).

Win 10 Problem with recording device

i upgraded to windows 10 yesterday and i was skyping just fine now i go to call someone and it says problem with recording device its really annoying people call me just fine but cant hear me at all i hear them i checked my mic its fine complete response please help me

Yeah no I'm having a very similar problem. Instead of me calling people or people calling me and my microphone not working. I can't even accept calls or make calls, it just drops the call and says "problem with recording device". But I tested my mic and camera and they are both working, so what's wrong? Why is this ruining my night?

I am having a problem with playback in Final Cut 6.0.6

Hello,
I am having a problem with playback in Final Cut 6.0.6 of 1920x1080 60p footage.
I transcoded MTS files shot on a Sony NEX FS100 into Apple Pro Res mov files but the
playback stutters in Final Cut and QTime making it impossible to edit. Is this because the files
are just so big the computer is having a problem processing them? If so what should I edit in to preserve the
best quality?
I am Running Mac OSX 10.6.8
2x2.4 Ghz Quad Core Intel
32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3
Admittedly my FCUT is out of date, I intend to up to X when I finish off an ongoing project.
Thanks Luci

You might consider running diskwarrior on your drive (alsoft.com). And run diskutility, repair disk. A corruption of the drive could cause problems. Also, drive speed starts to fall sharply as the drive gets full. Make sure you have a minimum of 10% free space on the drive. You might also get a utility to check the speed of the drive. I think Aja has one.
Also, do you have anything else connected to the firewire bus? If so, try disconnecting it. You might also try disconnecting ethernet and turning off your airport. Resetting your fcp preferences couldn't hurt.
