Sound on my pc
Sound on my pc
I have a skype phone connected to my pc. Today the sound has decided to come through the phone only and I have no sound on my pc. Any thoughts? It was fine yesterday. Its Windows XP
Re: Sound on my pc
Same thing happened to me.
Go to Control panel/Sounds and Audio devices/Audio and select your normal audio device.
You will probably only have 2 devices in the drop down selection, your normal one and the skype one.
Cheers
Gerry

Re: Sound on my pc
Have a look in Tools--->Options---Audio Settings from within the Skype panel and see in anything has changed.
This happens to me when I use the telephone and I then have to change it back. This started to happen two or three updates ago.

Re: Sound on my pc
Looks like your audio device has disappeared
Do you have a sound card installed?
Or are you using the sound chip on the motherboard?
Either way I would suggest you reinstall your sound device.

Hi,
Did you have windows updates yesterday ?
I had some security updates loaded and find the sound has gone on some applications.
Still looking into it.

Yes either yesterday or the day before I did.

Hi pilgrim2,
"Don't adjust your set"
I've just restored back prior to the latest security updates and sound is now working on the applications.
I am going to install the updates one at a time and test. This may take some time
KB951535
KB951550
KB954430
KB954459
KB955069
KB957097
KB957832
KB890830
I might just first Google the above and see if any known problems are online.

Re: Sound on my pc
Jennifer, which applications have the sound problem after the updates? I, too, received some updates on my XP machine but my sound still seems to be OK at least in Skype, Winamp and my Applian applications.

Hi Beachy,
The main application we noticed was the MSN "phone" would not make the ringing sound on the receiving end.

Re: Sound on my pc
Hi,
I could have spent the evening watching paint dry but don't have a license ( another thread)
So I've installed all the updates one at a time with reboots when specified.
Finally done a power off reboot and all is working in the sound department.
Sorry I can't point the finger at the updates

Re: Sound on my pc
As I said in a previous reply to Pilgrim, if I use my Dualphone to answer a call I have to reset the options for the sound card within Skype otherwise the next time there is a call it only goes through to the 'phone. I noticed that this started to happen since about three updates (to Skype) ago.
This only applies to my USB Dualphone not the one that connects directly to the router.

Hola
If there is a copy or printing shop somewhere around why not fax it to the person. Might save a lot of trouble.

Re: Sound on my pc
Actually, Fred, the same thing happened to me a couple of hours ago. I replied in one thread and it ended up in another!
