Skype Echo Sound Test Service Not Working: A Step-by-Step Guide to Troubleshoot

Are you experiencing issues with your Skype echo sound test service not working? If yes, then this article is here to help you troubleshoot the problem and get back to making seamless audio calls on Skype.

The first thing you should do is check if the Windows Audio service is running properly. Here's how:

Step 1: Right-click on the speaker icon in the desktop bar and select Open Volume Mixer. If the option is turned off, toggle it on.

Windows allows third-party apps to control default sound/audio of the system, which can sometimes cause issues with Skype audio calls. To ensure that Windows Audio service is running properly, follow these steps:

Step 2: Select Run from the Start menu and open the Run dialog box.

Step 3: In the Run command box, type services.msc and click on the OK button.

Step 4: In the Services window, scroll down and find the Windows Audio service. Right-click on it and select Restart or Resume if it's already running.

Step 5: If the service is not working, right-click on it and select Start.

Step 6: Once the process is completed, restart your computer and check if the Skype audio is working or not.

If restarting the Windows Audio service doesn't resolve the issue, you can try checking the settings within Skype. Here's how:

From the Skype app, tap on the three-dot button at the top and open the settings menu. From the Settings menu, go to the Audio & Video section and switch on Automatically adjust microphone settings.

Microsoft has added a nifty option in the app to check the audio and video of Skype. You can use this feature to test your audio settings before making a call. To do so:

Step 1: Open the Skype app and go to the Calls tab.

Step 2: Click on the 'Call Me' button or tap on the 'Make a free test call' option from the menu.

The good news is that there's an easy fix for this issue, and it's often related to a glitch with the Windows Audio service. If you're still having problems with the test audio, then let's move to the following options to fix them.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve any issues with your Skype echo sound test service not working. Remember to restart your computer after making any changes to ensure that the Windows Audio service is running properly.
