[jaws-uk] Re: More questions on skype

Pete, I probably did not express myself clearly enough, I thought I said I used the text based chat on Live messenger not the voice chat because I was told it was difficult to set up. That is precisely why I installed Skype. As for the friendly technician, well that's going to be difficult as here, when I say I work with an english version of Windows, they simply don't want to know. I prefer to work in English and anyway I don't see why I should pay for a french version of JFW when I have one in English working perfectly for me. It's good to be bi-lingual, it's nice to live where the sun shines a lot more than in England but you can get into very frustrating situations here as a VIP. 

These last few lines definitely off topic, sorry folks.

Marie,
It seems to me from your description that you have some components of Windows missing, if I were in your situation I would look for a friendly computer technician who could perform an overhaul of your system, but still I don't understand how you can use the voice part of Live Messenger and yet the voice part of Skype doesn't work, obviously your microphone is selected when using Live Messenger, and it should be the same in Skype. 

Anyway I wish you good luck in solving the problem.

Regards,

Pete H.

I tried 3 times to run smdvol32 as you describe, everytime I got the following message: windows cannot find sndvol32. 
What next?

I promise to listen carefully even if you say it only once.

you should be able to regulate your sound volume just using windows native volume control. 
Do the following:
1. hold down your windows logo kkey while typing the letter "r" (winkey+r) to open the run dialog. 

2. type

sndvol32

and hit enter
3. This should bring up the windows volume control applet on the playback side. adjust your playback volume here. (The overall system volume and wave volume are relevant). Should a level for microphone show up here, make sure the "mute" checkbox for it is checked or you might get feedback.)
if you also need to adjust your ic's recording volume, hit your "alt" key to go into the menu, enter on "properties' and in the properties dialog tab to the radio buttons that let you select whether to adjust your volume for playback or recording and set it to "recording" and hit enter. This opens the recording side of your volume control where you can set the recording volume of your mic.
Others might differ from this, but I usually do not even install the software that comes for my audigy 2 card but just the drivers when I install or upgrade drivers for my card.

thanks for your help Phil. Managed to add a contact or two but struggling with the sounds settings because of difficulty in navigating in the creative audigy 2 menus. Hope I get there some day.

Hi Marie,

Chat, in Skype, is a means of messaging using text while call is
communication using sound i.e. speech.
Once you select a contact from the list, pressing the applications key will give you a context menu with other options including the ability to send a file to the contact, viewing the contact's profile and blocking the contact.
There are other options which require that you have other Skype services active, but most of these you need Skype credit to use. Skype credit works a bit like pay-as-you-go mobile phones in that you place credit with Skype 
then use it up.
Examples of these services are making calls to landline phones or mobile 
phones, sending text messages to mobile phones etc.
Skype is presented as a set of tabs which you can navigate using keystrokes 
provided by the Jaws scripts.

You can find an overview of the keystrokes by pressing JawsKey+h.

HTH,


Phil Medway

Subject: [jaws-uk] More questions on skype
I've downloaded the executable file as advised and installed it making sure 
all the scripts were compiled as recommended before pressing the finish
button.
However, the problems I encountered trying to add contacts are still there. I type the email address of a friend and press the find button, sometimes 
the search is started but not always and I don't get any result.
More puzzling now... I've run the test call many times, I get the service 
ok, but I do not hear my message played back to me as I should.
I know my mike works because I can hear my breath in my headphones as I
type. The problem must lie in the playback volume but I don't know where to 
find this to alter its settings.
I use an audigy 2 soundcard, what should I look for and where? navigating in the creative submenus is a nightmare but if pointed to the right direction, 
I might be able to crack that one.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Marie
P.S. What's the difference between chat and call? probably quite obvious to 
you all but I'll like it clarified for a skype user. Thanks.
