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!

I belong to a Google messenger group with many people. Last night everyone was having a video conference in the group huddle. I joined the huddle easily, and video worked just fine. I could hear everyone else chatting and see them. However my Mic was greyed out, not muted. No one could hear me.
I can Skype, do Google video chat, and record sound without any issue. Why won't huddle work with the Mic?

From today, Skype is out of beta. But I still can't activate video chat on my Mozart. Just wanted to know if it is only me or anyone else is also facing this issue.
Video chat is working with my.Mozart. but I'm using the back camera.

Thanks kkcheong.
I tried video chatting at a higher speed WiFi (256kbps) and it worked without any problem. Earlier I was using 30kbps. Lesson- Video chat on Skype on WP7 doesn't work well at low speed.
Mods please close this thread if they see it fit.
It works great, we use the back camera !!!!
on this topic has anyone been able to use the earpiece to listen to other people though skype? because whenever i try and even press the speaker button on skype it just plays through the main speaker
Hi Friends,
There is a problem in the Audio while I do Video calling in my SGS3.
I did Video calling for first time in my phone using Skype. The chat went smooth for some time and then suddenly the Audio became very low and I was not able to hear my friend properly even at the full volume(using loud speakers) but the video was going smooth. So I had cut the call and ringed him again, the Audio and Video were normal but again after sometime the Audio became very low. The Audio is normal just for few minutes after the call is initiated.
I faced the same problem even when I tried video calling with Google hangout using the Google+ app. Facing the same issue each time I do video calling.
Note:
Used Wi-Fi for Video calling. 2 Mbps speed.
Android Version: 4.1.2
Please help me fixing this issue and what could be the reason for this problem.
Need help desperately.
Thanks in Advance
Guys,
No one knows a solution for this problem?
Hi I've been a Oneplus 7 pro user for half a year now. My phone seems to have 2 separate audio profiles for general media, and calls. For general media the audio quality is great on bluetooth. However when it switches to calls, app calls, wechat video chats and what have you, I get a very muffled audio quality. It's truly atrocious.
I'd say that I have gotten used to it by now, but a few weeks ago I had regular youtube playing, and a friends voice message playing at once. It must've somehow messed wwith the profiles because I was able to hear the voice message crystal clear, through the media audio profile.
This got me thinking that I could probably route call audios as a media output but I cannot figure out how. I tried changing codecs and everything on the developer options but to no avail. They all switch back to the default options as soon as I change them. There also aren't any options I can try on the bluetooth settings.
I'd be grateful if anyone can shed some light on this topic for me. Google search didn't yield anything helpful and this id my last resort. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!
