Most of us use apps like Skype, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, etc. for
conducting and attending meetings with our teammates. But what if we are unable
to communicate with our teammates during the online meeting? Frustrating,
right? So, if you are also facing this issue on Skype, then you have come to
the right place because we will show you exactly how you can fix this problem
so that you can communicate with your teammates on Skype without any problem.
Select Right Audio Device in the App
Sometimes you might accidentally select a different audio device on
Skype due to which you might face audio issues on Skype. So, make sure
you have selected the correct audio device if you are currently facing audio
issues on Skype. To do this:
1. Launch the Skype
app.
2. Now hit the three
dots icon (located near your profile name).
3. After that, tap on
“Settings.”
4. Now click on the
“Audio and Video” option.
5. Next, click on the
down arrow, which is located in the “Audio” section.
6. Now, make sure that
you are using the correct audio device with Skype. However, if the selected
device is not correct, then select your desired audio device to fix your audio
problem on Skype.
Test Your Microphone
If the above fix does not work, you can try making a free test call to
test your microphone and ensure that it is working properly. Why is this
important? Because sometimes, the person with whom you are trying to
communicate might be facing connectivity issues due to which he/she might not
be able to hear your voice. To make a free test call on Skype:
1. Launch the Skype
app.
2. Now hit the three
dots icon (located near your profile name).
3. After that, tap on
“Settings.”
4. Now click on the
“Audio and Video” option.
5. Finally, tap on the
“Make a free test call” option to make a free test call and test your
microphone. Now, if you can hear your message played back, then there is no
issue with your microphone. However, if you can’t hear your message, then your
microphone is not working.
Check Your System’s Audio Settings
If you have accidentally muted your sound, then the person with whom you
are trying to talk will not be able to hear your voice. Yes, it is a dumb thing
to do, but it does happen. We do accidentally disable many functions or
settings on our computer due to which we have to face issues later in the
future. So, make sure you have not accidentally disabled your sound on your
computer if you are facing audio issues on Skype. To make sure this is not the
case, go to your taskbar and then press the sound icon and see if you have
accidentally muted your sound or not.
Turn off Automatically Adjust
Microphone Settings on Skype
This setting automatically adjusts your microphone audio level when you
make a call using your Skype app. But sometimes you may have audio problems on
Skype due to this setting. However, by turning this setting off, we can fix our
audio problems on Skype. To disable this setting:
1. Launch the Skype
app.
2. Now hit the three
dots icon (located near your profile name).
3. After that, tap on
“Settings.”
4. Now click on the
“Audio and Video” option.
5. Finally, disable
the “Automatically adjust microphone settings” option (located in the audio
section) using the toggle button near it.
