Just wondering, but since the latest FOTA receiving video for Skype calling seems to be broken... On my TF at least, people can see my video but I can't seem to receive theirs
Works here, tested yesterday.
Try reinstalling Skype.

If you can't recieve video, it's problem with their end, not yours.
People, stop blaming every problem you come across on the transformer. Ever considered it's something else?
As with the Exynos-based counterparts, call recording is disabled in our ICS build. I believe this problem has been solved in those, but is it fixable here without kernel source?
Call recording is somewhat critical for my job, and while I do have an external wired call recorder set up, it's pretty patchy and inconvenient.
Probably can't be done without kernel source, which we may not see for awhile. joemeister and others are making progress on am aosp kernel made from scratch, but this also is still alpha
This call recorder from the market works without issue and I have tested and verified this it works both ways and only requires root. Try it for yourself and you'll see it works well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder&hl=en

Ugh. I installed a trial version of this I got from another thread here and the expiration was set to before I installed it so it never did anything.
Even worse, it made the app show up as "purchased" in the market, but since I didn't really purchase it, it won't download and I get a 403 error.
confirmed worked for me as well.
That's good to know. I'll figure something out then, maybe contact Google or the developer.
Folks, I just installed Skype on Locerra's CM9 latest build dated 08/15/2012 and noticed that with either the front or the rear camera my video appears truncated and seems to use only half the screen off the P6800. Did not get anything on the development thread for the issue, is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong?

Uninstalled current Skype version, installed older version 2.1.0.46, then upgraded and it works fine now.
I have just installed VeganTab 7.1 in my aging g Tablet. It seems to work pretty well - except for Skype. I can call the Skype Test Center all right, but I can't hear the recording from that site. I know the sound system is working, for I get sound all right from other applications. In particular, when I turn the tablet on and Skype gets automatically launched, I can hear the sound emitted by Skype when getting online.
Is this something other VeganTab 7.1 have observed? Are there any reasonable ways to fix this problem?
Never mind

Well, I signed into Skype under a different id and now it works fine. I still don't understand what the original problem was though.

Is it still workin for ya? I'm running the same rom and cannot figure it out
My Google Pixels microphone randomly died after some point in its lifespan, but happened recently. First i updated version to Android Q Beta 1 (and it was working all right on that version) but when i updated it to Android Q Beta 2 (microphone stopped working and whole UI experience was buggy, some apps not working, random restarts, etc...) but then i got it back on Android Pie, and it worked for few minutes into boot and died yet again... Then i installed custom ROM (Pixel Dust) with TWRP recovery and Root, but nothing of those helped, then i got it back on Android Pie via adb sideload OTA. That didn't help either... So i don't know is it the software problem (because it seems to work first few minutes after i boot it) or is it the hardware problem. I use my phone mostly for phone calls and now because microphone is dead, it lost its functionality... But speaker was working,earpiece and 3.5mm jack.. Any suggestions??
i'm having a similar problem at the moment. Since the April OTA update, phone calls stopped working. Even when using a BT headset. I tried reverting to Full Recovery Image from february, but that only helped a bit. Also, any other audio app was not able to use the speaker. With the Feb version, youtube and google music were back working, but phone calls are still not possible, causing the telephone app to freeze. I was thinking about installing some custom rom too, but that doesn't seem to do the trick. Did you try to wipe the cache in recovery?
Update
found three possible workarounds for people having the same issue, perhaps one of those helps. I'll go through them today evening.
You could try enabling the "Disable USB audio routing" in developer options and see if that works for you. It did work for me

A couple of days ago one of the CEs here pointed out to me that I needed to enable the setting for wired headphones in Google Settings > Search, Assistant & Voice > Voice > Hands Free and toggle on the ‘wired headset’ setting,

Change your launcher, for example, on nova launcher, disallow permission to microphone for google app and never let him this permission, do not use google assistant.

Maybe is a kernel error..but definitely is not a hardware problem. maybe try changing kernels. o downgrading to 7.
since none of the above tricks worked in my case, i booted TWRP to clean the caches. Didn't bring any good result. So i flashed ElementalX Kernel and now i got some kind of a better result, even if it's still weird. Everything works now except incoming calls. I can actively call other persons, use whatsapp or facebook audio calls and all is good. Only if i receive calls, still mic is muted.
I will try everything from above, and hopefully something will actually work and get my Pixel back in life. I will get you updated guys.
Thanks for the support.

None of those helped so far, i'll try flashing some kernel then...
I discovered that when i try to record with my camera video, it says "Can't record audio. Another app is using the mic." Also when i try to record audio message on Messenger app, as soon as i click on microphone icon it says some error.
Update, my sound and video won't record, both on Youtube or Instagram or any kind of video audio playback.
Update
I flashed ElementalX kernel and same stuff happened, phone calls and microphone was working for first 30 minutes then it got back to old days, not working as usual. Now i think this is hardware problem

have you tried chaging vendor image, or getting a vendor image from a working pixel?
I installed lineageos 16 without gapps and is working good for hours until installed gapps.
