Hi!
I have a stock 10.1 that I just got from the Rogers promotion. I really only got it for video chat, and I'm finding that I just get unbelievable ear-piercing echo and feedback when using GTalk.
Is there something I'm missing?
Come on, someone must know the answer, is nobody really using video talk?
Is my hardware bad? My software? Do people use something besides GTalk?
I am using GTalk quite regularly and have not faced any problems. Voice is absolutely clear and no echo.
I'm having the same issue on Lenovo Ideapad k1. Played with different settings - nothing. Skype works flawlessly though. Such a shame...
hope anyone has a solution...

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!

Howdy fellow atrix owners
I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with the outgoing video chat volume. The person on the other end can barely hear me. I can hear them loud and clear. Ive used Fring tango and Skype and they have the same issue. My regular phone call volume on the other end is clear. some one please help! The video chat option is one of the main features that convinced me to buy this device.
Newb
So im guessing everyones video chat is working good then? Everyone i video chat with complain that they cant hear me even though i am yelling and close to the speaker.
Can someone please confirm that my problem is normal or not.
Qik and Fring both had significant issues with audio levels for me. Call recipients could not hear the audio, no matter how loud they set their volume.
Tango worked well for me, and Skype's audio has been fine, although both video and audio seem laggy on it.
Skype tells me that my device is not certified for video chat but lets me enable it. Video quality is horrible and sound still very low on the reciever end. I think my atrix hates me. Any one else have these problems?
Still haven't been able to get video chat working. Has anyone had this problem before? This is very frustrating.
Try with Google Talk
I don't video chat.
sorry.

Just got my ATP from B&H today. One thing isn't working, the microphone. Anyone else having issues with it? I open Sound Recorder, speak, and nothing records. Google voice search doesn't work. Google hangouts dont recognize my mic. skype doesnt recognize any sound either.
Is this an isolated issue? Everything else works great.
edit: After 2 restarts, it works fine. Weird.
Mine works perfectly.

At least the GPS is working then
well, the microphone works in every application that calls for it, except google hangouts. this has to be a software issue.
my NT is rooted on 1.4.0. (I haven't upgraded yet until I need to or see a useful advantage.)
I've tried the latest version of skype and also groovip. both seem to have a microphone problem. groovip had secial submenu in settings called trouble shooting which handled the inbound voice and got it working but the outbound like skype has mic problems. mic works fine in other apps. possible permissions problem or device mapping issue? I'm not that tech savy so any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. (or a referral to another app similar to groovip)
thank you for retina-refraction-time.

until custom roms are out, there is no way that the microphone will work with any voip apps.
i think the reason behind it is because the nook os is forbidding the microphone to be used with anything other than what it was meant to be used for.
read and record your voice for children's books and the like. this is probably the reason why some apps that use the microphone do work such as google voice search, hi-q mp3 recorder, etc.
the common thing between those two apps is that they are used to record your voice, where as voip does more than that.
so until custom roms are out, voip apps will not work. installing a custom rom means installing new software, in this case installing a new OS.
hope this helps. we are getting real close to CM9 so just hang in a little longer!
I tried out the new beta of Evi (siri altenative on android) it seems to work great. I haven't tried the headphones/mic jack. does it support mic through headphones and has anybody tried it?
I have used teamspeak and ventrillo.

Hi
I've seen a lot of people on the forums talking about this problem, but I couldn't see anyone who could find a solution. I have the same problem. Whatsapp, messenger etc.
When making a video call, the sound is echoing to the other party. Especially the voices such as the voices of children coming from behind are echoing to the other party. There is again this problem in normal voice calls, but it does not bother because it is very few. video calls are annoying. i tried global rom, i tried eu rom the result is the same. If I can't find a solution, I'll also try custom rom. those who have the same problem, I would be glad if any help comes from you
thanks.
hi
I installed aosp-based custom rom, the result is still echoing in the same video calls. new updates will not solve the problem. The problem is hardware related.
I have same problem. I tried dirrents rom but same. not solve.
maybe if disable top mic it can solve.
So how can I disable top mic?
Hi,
Did anyone find a solution for this?
BTW, in my case if I'm the one who starts the video call (from WhatsApp), I have the problem. But if I ask the same person to start the call, the sound is clear... Weird.
Is this similar to you guys?
