When you try to make a call, you get the error message "problem with playback device".
In order to solve this issue, you need to go to Tools > Options > Audio settings. Then, choose your sound card from the playback device drop down menu and press Save.
You can repeat the same steps for recording devices, just to make sure.
This did not help me at all. I have done everything every single post about the playback problem has told me to do with absolutely no change. I need to know what the problem is, as it is getting incredibly annoying. It was working just fine (I've had skype and my Pc for years) and now all of a sudden it isn't. This is frustrating, and I'm tired of getting repeated generic responses. I need an actual solution. Every other "sound" on my computer and other messaging/calling systems works just fine, so it's not my computer. It's skype.
