Quite often, an unpleasant situation arises due to the fact that there is no sound in Skype. The problem can be caused by both the hardware of the PC and the software. Most users, in the event of a similar situation, panic and carry their computer to a service center or call specialists to their homes. But, as practice shows, if you want to restore the full work of the program, you can do it yourself. It will take you no more than half an hour, and you will already know what to count on.
If the sound was before certain changes, and then disappeared, it makes sense to look at the changes and, perhaps, try to return the system to its original state.
No sound on Skype? The problem may be caused by a malfunction in the hardware of the system unit. It is necessary to begin the recovery phase with the correct connection of the speakers and sound card, as well as with the connection of the speaker system to the power supply network. The plug should be well inserted into the outlet, the power toggle switch is on, and the volume control is in the middle position. Also, the cable for connecting speakers to the PC must be inserted into the green 3.5 mm jack. If there are several connectors, for example, on the back and on the front of the case, then you need to check both, one may not work. Finally, it is recommended to check separately the speakers (connect the phone and turn on the music) and the sound output of the PC (connect the headphones to it). If the speakers are working, but the sound does not come out of the computer, then the problem with the fact that there is no sound on Skype is inside the PC.
At the next stage, it is necessary to check the software part, due to malfunctions of which a similar situation usually occurs. The procedure must begin with the driver. To do this, call the context menu with the right mouse button on the “My Computer” shortcut, select “Properties”. In the window that opens, go to the "Device Manager". We look at how correctly everything is installed. If there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark next to the sound card, you need to reinstall the driver. Usually it is recorded on a disc that comes with the motherboard.
Next, go to check the soundbar. Malfunctions with it can also lead to the fact that there is no sound on Skype. To launch it, double-click the left mouse button on the taskbar in the right corner on a white speaker. In the window that opens, you need to check the position of the slider. If it is in the lowest position, then it must be pulled to the middle. Next, run the shell of the sound card. She is in the same place. She may look very different, it all depends on the manufacturer. For example, Realtek has a peach-colored speaker. We click on it all the same button twice. In the window that opens, we check the operation of the speakers by pressing the left key of the manipulator once. If at the same time the acoustics work, but in Skype it still does not work, then you need to configure the sound in Skype. Otherwise, it is better to contact the service center, since serious problems with the PC are possible.
To verify this, run the program. We go to the "Tools" menu, the "Settings" sub-item, go to the "Sound Settings" tab. In the window that opens, you must accurately check the correspondence of the sound source by doing this by pressing the green circle with a triangle in the middle. You should also enable automatic configuration under it using the checkbox. If all these procedures did not help, then updating certain modules is necessary, and it would really be better to turn to a qualified specialist for help. Well, in case of a positive result, you can make calls. Skype will again give you the opportunity to chat with friends and acquaintances.
