X40 Soundcard Problem Using Skype

[bapatterson]

I have an X40 with built-in Bluetooth.

I have tried to use Skype with a Bluetooth headset, with a direct wired headset and microphone, and with the built-in microphone and speaker. I have the same problem all three ways.

I hear the incoming voice on the other side just fine. My outgoing voice, however, sound very, very faint, to the extent that I cannot use Skype.

I have checked the microphone settings in Control Panel-Sounds and Audio Devices and have turned the microphone gain up all the way (line-in with the Bluetooth headset).

I also tried reloading the sound card drivers. No luck.

I also have a T42p setup exactly the same way and it works fine.

I am thinking I have a bad sound card in the X40. Any thoughts?

I had the same problem.

Found a "solution" by downloading the "SoundMax Control Panel" program/driver, from the IBM website. I have v5.

Not sure why this happens nor why this seems to help. But it worked for me.

Let me know if this works.
