Skype audio issues - Asus Transformer TF700

When I use Skype I get no audio, tried on speaker and with headphones.
Anyone else have the same issues?

Yes! Tried it last night. Other side heard us, we could not hear them?

Skype audio is working fine for me.
My only concern with it is that it keeps crashing on me. It just disappears, but the notification still shows me in a video call. I think the Skype app is poorly written.

Works fine on mine on video conversations, did not try audio only though.
My tablet is rooted but otherwise stock.

Dev help/skype

I found an old skype apk that ahs the advanced settings to enble video calling. It tried to work, made a call but video never initialized, did have call audio though... After that it logs me out. Cant log back in. Wondering if a developer could take a look at it and posibly fix it or everyone.
Heres the apk for everyone

AFAIK it's a driver issue between Skype and Nvidia. It would be good to see a working version.
Latest Skype update just added video calling for our transformers!!!!!!!!!

Agree, tested it and video call works.
My transformer is complete. Skype video calls now works.

[Q] Rogers I727 Volume

Hi,
I have scoured various forums and haven't found a workable solution.
My Rogers SII LTE has noticably low call volume. It's mostly when using the handset, but even with earphones. Music and other audio is fine.
It's especially bad when I try to use any VoIP apps, cannot hear the other side at all if there is background noise.
I have been into a service mode, but the audio adjustments do not seem to save.
Anyone else having this issue? Or better, a fix?
thx
No one else with an SII with problems hearing callers?
Maybe something is wrong with your handset? I have no audio issues at all in calls, even on various ROMs.

thanks for the reply. You might be right. I am having occasional USB charging issues also, might be related.
Looks like its mostly when using voip apps. Can't explain it.

Same problem here.
Often I have to turn volume up to max to get a "normal" call volume.
I have a similar issue... Voice calls on my headset are very light on both ends of the call. I have to yell for the other end to hear me clearly

It's a problem with the software that comes on the phone. When I switched to ics that problem went away for me.

Streaming Netflix using Bluetooth headset

Has anyone attempted to stream netflix while using a Bluetooth headset? When I tried this netflix bufferred every 20 seconds or so and when it wasn't buffering, the video was choppy and audio was not in sync. Using wired headset it worked flawless.

Holy [email protected] I thought I was the only one who realized this. I wifi netflix and bluetooth to Jambox and it sucks. Buffers a lot and delayed sound. It even happens when playing a game with the Jambox connected. I take the bluetooth off and it's perfect.

I can't even use the Netflix app because the interface is sooooooo slow. It literally takes five to ten seconds to respond to touch inputs and when I try to scroll through lines of movies/shows, my finger travels the entire screen and the row moves only one or two places over. It's really annoying.
Apparently enabling forced GPU rendering in settings -> developer options will help with Netflix performance. It might cause issues with other apps though, so keep that in mind.

This is the same hardware problem that the prime had. You may notice it on you tube as well. It's because bt/wifi share a antenna. That said I did play around with mine for a few minutes and did not have the problem. Granted I'm sitting pretty close to the router. Check this out.... run the netspeed app to see what you get with bt off. Then start streaming some music to your bt headphones for google music and run netspeed while it's streaming. You will probablly notice a signifcant decrease.

What was mentioned about sharing the same hardware with the wifi/bt in the prime is correct. They use the same chip to decode both signals. So when both are being used at the same time the process slows down for both signals. This is a common occurrence among many portable devices and not just any Asus tablet. I've seen it on my cell phones also. Manufactures are moving to this combined chip process to save in both cost and shrink the size of the devices for smaller cases.
Now having said that, these chips are designed to function with both signals at the same time. If yours is experiencing horrible performance then return it for another. Don't wait for software fixes because they won't fix the hardware. It might improve but chances are higher it won't be fixed. If you wait your return for exchange window may pass.
Iust got an email from B&H about the issue and they said I can get a refund or exchange but they dont know when they are recieving the next batch. Im probably gonna get a refund and buy one elsewhere. Sucks
Does anyone have a Tf700 that actually streams movies over wifi and bluetooth to speaker, ear buds or anything successfully. I don't want to wait for an exchange if no one can successfully accomplish it.

I just did a wifi speed test without bluetooth on and my speed was 28mbs
With wifi on and bluetooth streaming music to my jambox the score dropped to 0.39mbs
That's crazy.
I used the speedtest.net app.
And enabling the gpu in the developer section didn't make any difference.

I've had my Infinity for a few days now and don't have any problems watching netflix while on my blue tooth headset. I always watch Netflix for about an hour in the morning when I'm working out.

Thanks that's what I needed. Its a hardware issue then. Like someone stated before. Just needed someone to try it out.

I am also getting tons of lag and constant disconnects/buffering when trying to watch HBO go or netflix over my stereo Bluetooth headset. I was wondering if there were others that have successfully gotten video to play while using a bluetooth headset other than that one poster. Is it just a defective unit that I received or are other people experiencing the same thing? Do you guys think its worth going thru the trouble of returning the tablet? I guess I am mainly trying to estimate the chances of getting another tablet that has the same issue.

I think any hardware issue is worth going through the trouble for. If you paid $500 for the tab, you might as well ensure everything works. The software can be fixed through official and third-party options but the hardware won't get any better.

Thanks for the reply. Yea, thats pretty much what I was thinking. Its just that the 64GB model is sold out from Tigerdirect and I didn't want to go w/o a tablet until they got them in stock.
B&H is trying to convince me its my router. They say 28mbs isn't fast enough to stream wifi and Bluetooth at the same time. Streaming wifi has nothing to do with Bluetooth. I asked them to make me a RMA tag so I can ship it back.
I'm waiting for their response. If it isn't enough can someone tell me. I don't want to get the same problem I had with the prime.

Can someone run a speedtest on their wifi and then on the wifi while streaming sound to a Bluetooth device to see if there is a drastic decrease in download speed.

Have you tried calling 1-888-678-3688 for help? Its asus' support line. I was told to call that from tigerdirect before they could issue a return. I won't be able to call until after work today though because I forgot my tablet at home >.> But maybe they'll have something to say regarding the matter.
I just called the number and spoke toa Asus representative and here is what they told me
" The Asus Infinity TF700 is not designed to do this because the antenna will cause interference with each other since they both run off the same antenna."
WOW I can do this on my G2x. This disappoints me.

This is how the 300 was advertised. One at a time, not both. I had this problem horribly on the prime. On the infinity I drop from 28mbs without bt to 10 with it. I'm still able to stream just fine so far.

Do all TF700s have bluetooth lag or not?

Both my original and exchanged units from Amazon have Bluetooth audio that lags behind video by at least a second. This phenomenon is not experienced on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 or my Galaxy Nexus. Turning off wifi does not help. I sincerely hope this can be fixed.
What content are you using to check for the lag?

Try any MKV with BS player. It lags the most for me.
Try a HW accelerated video player like Dice Player. Or try to connect by HDMI to your media output device.
I have the same issue with my Nexus 7 and others do too. Playing videos with YouTube seem fine, but playing my own videos with MX Player, and I just tried Dice player too, have audio lag with bluetooth. Those videos also work fine on my Galaxy Nexus over bluetooth.
Seems like either something with Tegra 3 or ASUS.
For me Bluetooth lag exists for all types of video including YouTube.
I just tested on my C6O device and I have no bluetooth lag on netflix, I think this is a QA issue.
Edit: Tried with some avi and mkv files and I do hear a half second lag. The effect is most pronounced on BS Player, Dice Player is a little better. I hope this is just a software issue :/

I've always had bluetooth lag, even on my my TF101... I just assumed thats just the way it worked....

The reason I asked about the content is that I get zero lag watching Netflix, but horrible lag watching YouTube. But I have found YouTube to lag sometimes even when watching my desktop PC with wired speakers.

I get no noticeable BT lag on anything, I didn't on my Prime either. I'm a night owl and have multiple sets of BT headphones and that I use with various devices and in my experience some headphones are MUCH more lag prone than others. There are TWO components where lag can be increased the sender and the receiver (any system that involves transmission of signals will necessarily have lag (even reality has lag, think thunder and lightning) the question is, is it noticeable). Everyone seems to blame the transmitter but the decode and reconstruction of the signal at the receiver can cause lag too. Get a known good set of phones as a first step if at all possible when trying to determine if the sender is laggy.
Same here I use my BT headset to listen to movies or streaming shows from Netflix, Hulu, Hbogo. Works great with no lag or buffering. Even when I'm in my bedroom and router is in my living room

I've heard so much good things about that headset! I actually have that saved on my cart ready to purchase! There is a white color too but $20 bucks more expensive. Glad to hear that it works great on our Infinity's.

Yes! Getting mine delivered tomorrow! Now I have two! That way I wont ever be without a BT.

I hate to exchange mine over this. My second infinity has a much better screen. But the lag is unacceptable. What might be causing this variation among tablets?

I too have the bluetooth headphone problem. I have been able to rectify this by using XBMC to watch my videos with as i can offset the audio. I find by offsetting the audio ahead around .6 seconds does the trick.

Audio delay over Bluetooth headset

I have, for some time, regularly watched TV shows during workouts on an iPad using BT headsets to avoid the bouncing cable.
I recently switched to using my TF700 for this but there is a noticeable lag between lip movements and spoken words reaching my ears that is *not* an issue on the iPad.
So is this an Android issue or specific to TF700?
Is there any way to fix it?
This is using Google's Movie Play app with purchased content.

Thanks and since there seems no solution.
I have another 12 days to return the TF700 and that's looking likely.

no this only nvidia chips set i have the samsung galaxy 3 and the tablet 2 android 4.04 no problem running snap dragon and texas chip set no problem i am taking mine back next week
Ok, so I kept reading about this bluetooth lag and how some are saying that it's an Nvidia problem, so I tested with both my TF700 and my Nexus 7 using the same apps (tried both DicePlayer and the Play Movies app) and found that the issue is *not* Nvidia, since there is no bluetooth lag on the Nexus 7, which also uses Tegra 3. I get the lag from both apps going to the same bluetooth device on the TF700, but no lag on the same bluetooth device on my Nexus 7.
So, it obviously a *software* issue that can be resolved (and hopefully will be).

I too have updated to JB and am experiencing BT audio lag on both a set of stereo speakers and an ear peice on everything except the you tube app. Games, DLNA movies, Netflix and local movies all lag. I was extremely happy with my Infinity until this. Now I just want to send it back to Amazon.
Is there absolutely no fix for this?
Well, I'm glad I didn't wait for the JB update to return mine. Now if only the PadPhone 2 had a keyboard and no BT audio lag!
For now I'm stuck with an iPad 2 for movies. Works well, but zero tinker factor.
SOLUTION for VLC player
SOLUTION. In VLC go to preferences >audio output>audio track native
Completely exit VNC a launch it again.
No lag muhehe...
(this was done on Nexus 7
the link goes nowhere.
