Hi there. Since reinstalling Vista Home Premium and downloading newer version of Skype,
I can either have: 1) Skype sound and NO other sounds from PC, or ") PC sounds normal and NO Skype sounds.
I have ticked and unticked all combinations in the control panel sound boxes. Please help!!!

hi try tools options on skype

[kerime]

Hi Joetan. Yes I did that.... Skype Ok... no sounds on computer besides skype..

[joeten]

hi have you tried reset to defaults or checked in device manager for any error with your sound driver

[kerime]

Hi Joeten. Thank you for trying to help me. I don't know how to identify the sound card in the device manager list. But if it did not work, would I be hearing the skype sounds at all? Everything was fine until I reinstalled Vista, and reinstalled the new skype. If I meddle with the audio devices I can get windows sounds on but then no skype.... Carmen

[joeten]

hi casper thanks for the input Kerime go to start,control panel,and in classic view.device manager,then sound video and game controllers click the + to expand the view and check for any yellow ! or red Xs

[casper0191]

So have you installed them?

Just check Skype sound set up
In Skype go Tools/Options/audio settings

Check that Microphone/speakers/ringing are all set correctly.

I had a problem once with webcam , which had a speaker available and i inadvertently had used the webcam instead of Realtek which goes with Skype.

As a matter of interest I have Realtek showing in Microphone/speakers/ringing
and this is using XP Professional.

There may be problems with Skype/Vista and a check with Skype forum may resolve matter.

Well how was the problem going ?

[kerime]

Yes the drivers are there. Thanks

[kerime]

Thanks Pedro... the problem stemmed from the tick boxes in audio devices... managed to fix the problem now by checking and unchecking the boxes until everything worked...... As well as this I had uninstalled and reinstalled skype..

[kerime]

Hi there... thank you for your help. Its fixed now... with various unticking of boxes in audio devices. and I also reinstalled skype. Not sure exactly why it is working now and not before... but it was down to those tick boxes. many thanks

[kerime]

All sorted noe Pedro... down to the tick boxes on audio settings. Many thanks.
