Hi Sounds like a firewall problem rather than a sound one. HTH Gena Amateur Call: M 0 E B P VOIP / IM: gena1959uk -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Marie BAISEZ Sent: Friday, May 25, 2007 9:19 AM To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ NOD32 2291 (20070525) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
