Asked By dylangutierrez 10 points N/A Posted on - 02/21/2012

Hey there,

This will be a rather short post.

I was using Skype 4.2 when I got the following error message while trying to show someone what sound Skype makes when it rings. 

Have you seen this before? What does this mean?

Thanks for your help!

Skype shows error when sharing sound

Be sure when checking the default sounds of Skype your sound card is really working. Try playing any audio file on your computer using Windows Media Player or any other media player that you have just to test if you can play a sound in your computer.

If you can hear a sound, then try checking Skype’s settings just like what is suggested in the above post. Just try to explore its settings.

If after changing some options nothing happened, try uninstalling it and then reinstall it back and see if the sound is restored.

You may also try upgrading your Skype version if you are using the older version. Skype 5.8 is already available which supports full HD video calling in Windows. Download it at https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/.
