Noticed the skype app runs ok, but doesn't like the microphone input, sounds overdriven and noisy, unusable. I have all EQ and noise reduction setting off.
This was in a quiet environment.
Hope its just a minor tweak needed, the test call receive audio was excellent.
I observed this too.
Mine too. Hope someone reports this so they will fix it.

Thanks for the confirmations.
Skype Devs... help!
Skype is unusable for me as well due to this.
Skype is absolutely not usable for me. Other party only hears noise and nothing else. Waiting for a fix ASAP coz this is one of the main features I been looking for.
Does anyone know if there are plans to fix Skype on the atrix? This is a pretty major screw up on their part...
Has anyone tried Skype with the second microphone disabled?
I just got off the phone with Motorola tech support and their answer is that they don't support Skype and suggested using Qik instead. Doesn't seem like they plan on making any fixes for it as of now.

And how can we do that?
In settings / call settings / noise suppression.

Does not help.
In fact ALL VOIP apps i tried simply do not work.
Motorola really messed this up. i tried cSipsimple, spidroid, fring, tango, Skype, line2....nothing works like it should.
Has anyone tried using a microphone through the headphone jack? This way we can find out where the error is.
have downloaded skype, pretty dumb that i am unable to make calls over hspa+, whenever i try to make a call it states:
"IN THE UNITED STATES, YOU CAN ONLY MAKE SKYPE CALLS OVER WIFI" anyway to remove this?
Did not experience any of the background noise yet, the device is fairly new, trying to find out info myself to help others out, will follow up on any info i find out.
Re: Skype audio distorted on Atrix
I have tried with the NR turned off which should stop the second mic. No difference. Interestingly the Audio Tool app has an oscilloscope that shows seriously overdriven input- noise and clipping. Mirrors what I hear in test calls to my voice mail via Skype. If Qik works,but Skype does not, it must be how the app is accessing the inputs.
no update on this post in several days. do we know of any more updates? i am assuming Skype is fixing something and will come out with an update soon?
any time frame of this update?

It is not a skype problem. it is a Motorola software problem as all VOIP apps on the market simply don't work on the Atrix.
Any application that is trying to access the sound drivers is having issues on this phone.

i guess i stand corrected. thank you for pointing this out to me.
is there an update in the future that we could be expecting?
This drives me nuts. I need skype so bad.
Not just Skype, Basically ALL VOIP apps aren't working because of how Motorola changed the api for the mic. Qik is the ONLY one that works.
Motorola acknowledge the problem and Motorola has to fix this ASAP!

Well, I did not have this problem on KE1.
Basically, bluetooth/wired headsets work fine, when you are making a regular phone call.
The problem starts, when you try to use them through Skype - microphone does not work on them. Yep, neither wired's headset nor bluetooth microphone work when making Skype calls, phone's microphone is used by default in those cases.
Ironically, when using them I have to hold the phone near my face so that anyone can hear me...
Anyone else having this problem?
Wow, so I am the only one experiencing this or am I the only one using Skype with headsets? :/
Still have this problem on litghtening Rom 1.5...
Am I the only one wanting to use bluetooth/wired headset along with Skype and other non telephone apps???
I dont know is this problem is only me, but on every nightly since I bought this phone and installed CM11 using Skype is pain. The camera and my microphone is not working, I can see my friend but they see only black screen and they can hardly hear me. Is there any fix for this and is this known problem? If anyone know fox for this I will appreciate.
My microphone doesn't work at all during Hangouts voice calls when speaker is on. It works when speaker is off. Does anyone else have this problem? No problems with Skype, Vonage, or regular calls.
Mic doesn't work in google hangouts video calls either. Does anybody know a fix to this?

Seems like a well known bug on the one plus forums. Affecting both viber and hangouts.
It's a bug...probably will be rectified in future

Any update on this? I am also having same issues
As the heading tells:
The microphone of the Tablet does not work in skype
A test with voice recorder and some other apps etc shows that the mic itself works perfectly - but not in Skype. You hear only some "brrrrrrrrrr" noice in skype test call (echo test)
Any hints, tips and experiences about this?
TIA
Uwe
Correctig:
Also microphone im IMO and Viber do not work. Onyl distorted sounds at an low level.
In "Agent Mail.RU" all is working flawlessly without any problem.....

Try updating firmware. I'm using it in skype quite frequently and there are no problems.
I installed the last available Nightly CM12.1 - no way
Also PAC-ROM does not work with Skype.
I also made a factory reset and installed all from beginning --> NO WAY
Or do You mean of another firmware?
I can confirm that I have the same issue with latest cm 12.1 (and with previous versions for quite some time).
If anyone knows how to fix that, it would be awesome since I searched for resolutions but could not find one :crying:
Thanks

On CM try editing mic settings (gain, etc...) with kernel auditor.
