Skype 4.2 crashing with Vtech USB7100 phone

[MadhaviS]

Well several times I make mufti discussion call's Skype crashes even standard calls drop as soon as associated. It's extraordinary it runs sometimes and then it fails. Anybody have comprise a solution to this. In recent times I bought a VTECH usb7100 Skype phone. As a regular cordless phone, using it for landline calls it is enormous on the other hand I am experiencing indistinct sound on Skype-to-Skype calls I phone my friend from my work system (I utilize Skype by means of a regular headset by means of boom mic), when he talks on the usb7100 I be able to hear him ok additional than the sound is extremely distorted. If he speaks extremely quietly the sound is completely ok. He be able to hear me ok on the usb7100; my voice comes in excess of ok without misrepresentation. It seems that the microphone sensitivity is not set appropriately; on the other hand in the sound setup for the system I have made certain the record and playback options are almost reduced to zero.

Ok, so I deduction in view of the fact that no one has commented on my preceding situation that no one out there is using the USB7100 or if they are, they are not having several tribulations. Anyway I consideration I would mention that I swapped out my USB7100 for an additional one and the innovative one has accurately the identical tribulations. I determine to be contacting VTECH hold up or maintain the entire in excess of again to observe if they have comprise several ideas. To me it seems that the tribulations are likely by means of the driver. When using the USB7100 it takes be in command of the audio record and playback level. Perhaps it is setting the level too high.

The VTECH seem to be familiar with of the tribulations. The research dept provided me by means of a modified driver additional than I tranquil have the similar tribulations. I anticipate they be able to fix this fault as otherwise this great diminutive phone, for this you have to go the Skype Tools->Options->Sound Devices. After that you have to uncheck the box "Let Skype regulate my sound apparatus settings", hit it off OK. There you determine to observe a microphone picture, create certain that the correct audio apparatus is displayed there (in the dropdown list) and hit it off Volume button under this representation. Windows recording mixer determine to open. Shift Microphone level slider down to the satisfactory level. If you have comprise microphone boost on then you be supposed to turn it off too. Play by means of the recording level until you get satisfactory result.

Thanks for the proposition additional than does not this mess things up for the additional applications which make use of Skype (i.e. Festoon and Spontania) I almost certainly necessitate the VTECH submission to stop Skype adjusting the sound settings additional than selectively for that submission merely. For the additional applications I necessitate Skype to tranquil adjust the settings for me. On the other hand, I would similar to Skype to adjust the settings for me for the entire applications and for the VTECH driver to run by means of it in such a way that the Skype adjusted settings are ok. (VTECH R&D group tell me they are running on an explanation additional than so far they have not been capable to make available me a driver which helps).

I do have encompass mic boost on, I locate that I necessitate it set to on for my plantronics desktop mic to run appropriately, not merely by means of Skype additional than for additional applications. I observe in the Skype advanced assist on audio settings that it says to turn off mic boost additional than be supposed to this be a rule for the entire microphones, certainly it determine to depend in the sensitivity of the mic being used. In view of the fact that you have returned the phone previously and PSTN calls work, you be able to almost certainly assume the HW is OK. I have used 2.04 and be able to make PC to PC calls and they sound enormous! In Skype, my Audio Settings are configured to utilize the Windows Defaulting Device for Audio In and Out. I have comprise the box checkered to "let Skype adjust my sound apparatus settings." (BTW, you cannot do step 4 mentioned on top of, you determine to get an error when you hit it off the Volume button. You be able to hit it off the advanced button by means of the USB audio apparatus selected. I am using the defaulting settings) If you have checkered the entire this, that essentially leaves you by means of the physical correlation from the phone to the system.

How are you concerning the vtech phone to your system. Are you concerning to a USB hub. Be able to you try disconnecting additional USB apparatus and attach the phone unswervingly to a USB (non hub) port on your system. Do you imagine several of the additional software you have installed that plays by means of Skype might be interfering by means of the VTech phone.

I plug the phone unswervingly into one the USB2 ports on my motherboard. I checkered in Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager and I be able to observe that it is set up for USB2 in view of the fact that the controller explanation contains the word 'advanced'. From what I have comprise read that indicates the port is USB2. It is not plugged into a hub, even though the word 'hub' does come into view in the Device Manager listing, perhaps the on-board USB controller give the impression of being to windows similar to it is a hub, anyway I am not associated through a number of exterior hub which I guess is what you were asking regarding.
