How to play audio files in Skype

Featured Replies

Hello, Maybe someone can help.

I found a program called Skype Audio Files and Downloaded it, but I can't get it to work. Does anyone know a simple way to play sound files while on a Skype call so the other person can also hear them?

Please note that I am not very tech savvy, so if you say "Just select the stereo input", I will have no idea what to do. In other words, please give a little more detail than you would probably think is required. Thank you for this.

Thanks.

Tom

The information you provided doesn't say much that's useful. I'm not aware of anything called "Skype Audio Files" that can be downloaded. I also did a Google search and didn't come up with anything either.

However there's several ways to play audio files to the person(s) on the other end of the call depending on operating system and sound driver without downloading any programs, or using some other Skype add-on apps.

Please clarify what program you actually downloaded, your operating system, and sound driver you're using in order to get better assistance.

Did you download this http://sourceforge.net/projects/skypeplayer/ ?

If not give it a go.

Hello,

The program I downloaded is the same as the one in Crossy's reply, called Skype Player. I tried downloading it (again), and when I copy a music file (MP3) into it, then make a Skype call and try to click on the play button, nothing happens.

I have Windows XP. My computer references the Realtek HD Audio Output / Input in the Control Panel section. Is that what you mean by sound driver?

Thanks for any help.

I found something that worked. In Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, Audio, Sound Recording, Volume. I check marked Stereo Mix. Both parties in a Skype call can now hear the sound file I am playing.

Thanks for you interest and help.

Tom

Yes, that was what I was going to suggest... AFAIK, "Stereo Mix" is only available if you have a Realtek audio driver.
