If you're a Skype for Business user and encounter an audio or video issue during a meeting or a collaboration, this troubleshooting guide might help you resolve the issue. We've put together solutions to some common issues.
Are you using a Dell front-facing laptop video camera?
The front-facing camera in some models of Dell laptops is not recognized as a valid input device in the Skype for business client. To fix the issue, update the Skype for Business client to the minimum version for the appropriate channel.
Improve the lighting conditions
A well-lighted room can make a big difference with the video quality of your calls. If the room is too dark, your webcam will try to amplify the signal to make the picture brighter, which reduces the video quality. Also if you have a window(s) or a bright light source behind you, for example, your face will appear dark and featureless to the other participant. For best results, make sure there's enough ambient light, and avoid back light.
Skype for Business is trying to keep you in the center of the sent video with the Crop and center my video in meetings feature that, by default, is turned on. If you want to disable this functionality, go to Tools > Video Device settings, and clear the Crop and center my video in meetings check box.
Check your settings in Skype for Business.
Skype for Business automatically mutes people joining a scheduled conference. This is done to reduce the noise from parties that aren't active presenters.
Check your Windows settings.
Adjust the signal strength (boost) of the microphone in Windows by right-clicking the loudspeaker icon at the bottom-right of the screen and using the slider control.
Check your connection.
If there are gaps or delays in the audio or if a participant starts sounding like a robot, it might be your or another participant's Internet connection causing the problem. See solve your connection issues in this guide.
Check your Audio Device Settings.
On the lower-left side of the Skype for Business main window, choose Audio Device Settings. Adjust the volume control under selected Microphone and check that, when speaking normally, at least one-third of the sound detected fills the box.
Select Recording devices. Right-click the device Skype for Business uses and choose Properties. On the Levels tab, use the slider control to increase (boost) the strength of microphone's signal if that setting is available.
Improve the speech to noise ratio.
The best way to improve audio quality is by increasing the contrast between the sound of your voice and all other sounds around you. There are lots of ways to do this.
Reduce the volume of the playback. If the volume of your speakers is too loud, or if the speakers are too close to your microphone, either condition can cause interference or echo. Turn down the volume on your speakers and, if possible, move them farther away from the microphone.
Use a headset. Almost all the issues described can be improved or solved by using a USB headset. All USB headsets work with Skype for Business, but the best experience is guaranteed by using a Skype for Business Certified headset listed in the catalog.
The volume slider control is for the system default playback device. If you have multiple playback devices, Skype for Business might be using a different one. To change the volume for other devices, right-click the loudspeaker icon and choose Playback devices. Right-click the device Skype for Business uses and choose Properties. Then on the Levels tab, use the slider control to adjust the volume.

The icons indicate activity and if the background noise matches with a non-presenter then you should ask that participant to mute their microphone. If you're a presenter, you can mute the participant yourself.
Ask the other participant to follow the tips in this guide to solve microphone issues. There are many ways to improve the speech-to-noise ratio, which will make it easier for you to more clearly hear the participant.
Is anyone else having "no audio" problem on the Fox Business page via the Fox New app? This has happened several times and last for hours. It is out again this morning. The local commercial inserts have audio, just not the main feed!
Please be advised that the channel developer themselves maintains channels on Roku. We suggest reaching out to Fox News' customer support team to report the issue and get help. There's likely an issue within that specific channel that needs to be addressed with an update from them.
In some cases, removing the affected channel and then reinstalling it helps. To ensure the process is successful, restart your device before adding the channel back in. We would recommend doing this from the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > System > Power (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step.) > System restart.
Removing and reinstalling did not help. I have checked another Roku in the house. Both systems and Fox App are up to date and they both have no audio on the broadcast, only on local targeted commercial inserts.
Inspired by an idea from Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon Hill devoted 25 years to what became his life's work and is now one of the most influential self development books of all time, Think and Grow Rich.
This free audio book is a short but powerful message from the "Dean of Personal Development" Earl Nightingale. This recording is actually one of the recordings that helped to launch the spoken word industry.
In this wide-ranging interview, best-selling biographer Walter Isaacson visits the Computer History Museum to speak about the process of chronicling the life of one of the tech world's most intriguing figures.
Contour App to play tv on the computer will not play Fox Business on weekends, sometimes just the audio will not play for Fox Business channel and sometimes both the audio and video for Fox Business will not play... usually only Friday, Saturday and Sundays.... however CNN will play as will some Food channels at those times on Contour. That makes me think possibly someone who works at Cox Cable is turning off the Fox Business Channel Feed on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays. This has happened in various forms for the last month and I need to follow stock market news for work. It is highly annoying. A month ago both Fox News and Fox Business was not working on Contour on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but CNN was working on Contour. All of the TV Go channels should work on Contour on the weekends, not randomly losing audio or both audio and picture for some channels.
