Hi; I assembled my desk top PC about 4 years ago. The Motherboard that I used had an on-board sound system. Recently it started acting up. I use the sound system quite a bit and so I purchased a "Creative Audigy" pc. since that time my Skype operation has been very "iffy". Angry

I get the message that Skype can't connect to my sound system. I have disabled the drivers to my old system and re-installed the Skype app. I still get the same results. Have I overlooked something here? Thanks for reading this and thanks in advance for any haelp.

I assume you mean you have purchased a Creative Audigy add-in sound card? Can you post up the exact one you purchased? Have you installed the latest drivers for that sound card?

This should fix your issue

Skype can't access my sound card

Yes, I purchased a Sound Blaster Audigy 5/Rx add-in sound card and Yes I installed the drivers. The odd thing is, Skype worked well for a few days. Then it started acting up. as I described.

Did you install Skype before you installed the sound driver?

Yes, then I uninstalled Skype, then reinstalled it several times.
