Problem with Playback Device

[Selecta]

Hellp Folks,
I am new to this forum and loved the positive feedback going back and forth between the members.
I have just successfully downloaded Skype 3.8.0.188 for Win98 SE. However when I tried the voice test, it gave me the message "Problem with Playback Device" I then tested the speakers by playing a CD with Windows Media Player and 2 other media players and found the speakers to be connected and working fine. Does anyone perhaps know what I need to do for Skype to recognise my speakers? Or maybe I was too ambitious with downloading Version 3.8.0188 and should perhaps scale down to Version 2.5??
Many Thanks
Selecta

Hi welcome to the forom Selecta,

First of all try going to the options and see if you can select a correct device for audio output.



If that does not help. I would suggest to try using an older version. Let us know if you still need more help.

I agree sometimes incorrect device selection can cause errors. Make sure input and output is correct.

Thanks 007 and JoVinz for your advice. I will attack the problem from the angle you suggest and if that fails will try an earlier version. I will keep you informed
