553134 2007-05-25 08:44:00 Problem is received audio in Skype sounds like sender has been breathing Helium. (Mickey Mouse voice), Reistalled with latest version 3.2, checked out the various audio settings - no change. Computer audio output checked seems OK, although Sound Recorder app returned a recording with a small amount of M.Mouse. Any ideas?

XPHome SP2
Skype 3.2

553136 2007-05-25 11:55:00 Tightly stretched headset cable restricting the flow of sound-shaped electrons??? :D :D

Fat sound bytes trying to squeeze through small speakers?? :D :D

Seriously though, does just the one Skype caller sound like this, or does everyone dialling you sound like this?

What about the reverse - what do you sound like to the person you are connected to?

Maybe try updating your sound card drivers...

Sound bytes on a strict diet.:lol:

All incoming calls sound like MM, including the Skype self test call.

Outgoing audio is reported as being received normal.

553138 2007-05-26 00:48:00 Any recent sound card changes? Do you have the latest sound driver installed?

Did this issue only reveal istelf on installation of Skype 3 . 2? Or was that an upgrade you installed to try to resolve the problem?

When was the last time you remember it was sounding OK and what system changes have been applied since (one's that you instigated as well as other programs you may have installed)?
