Skype with windows 6.1

[Feyerman]

Has anyone found a Skype that works with windows 6.1 and DCD'd newest rom and radio releases?

I have tried 2.2.0.18... No luck It worked great on WM6 but once i put DCD's 3.2.5 on my phone it will not run.

So I tried the newest on on the Skype site 2.2.0.45 and it runs but no luck with sound.

This isnt critical as I use it only once in a while on my phone but it is a nice feature to be able to use.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Is DCD 3.2.0 WM 6.1? If so, you're the first person I've heard of that's gotten it to work! :)

There is a low CPU version of Skype that I had working on dcd 3.2.0 and earlier. The sound came through the speakerphone on the back of the phone. Since updating to newer dcd ROMS it doesn't work anymore. Look for a thread titled "voip on wifi" or something like that for the cab. But it only works on older dcd ROMS.

I just installed SkypeMobilePPC_2.2.0.20.cab on my Sprint PPC-6800 with 15 MB free, and running the PPCGeeks 20270 kitchen and the 3.42.40 radio.

After the install and a soft reset, when I try to start Skype, I get a Skype can not start popup. :(

Try finding a beta version. I use version 2.2.0.20. I would upload the version I'm using but it doesn't seem to work. The version I have also only goes through the speakerphone, but I usually pop on a headset bluetooth or through the bottom port and it works fine.

I just downloaded 2.2.0.45 (actually mislabeled as 2.2.0.38) from this Skype forum post http://forum.skype.com/lofiversion/index.php/t177281.html. It starts and I can hear the ring when I make the test call, but I couldn't hear anything from the other end. I could hear the hangup sound when I hung up though.

This hsa been a problem with Skype for something like 9 months. It has something to do with the Mogul's chipset and a copyright issue. It used to work with old versions of Skype, but, as you observed, no longer, as you can no longer talk or hear.

Don't bother to ask Skype. They never answer this question forthrightly! Your best bet is to forget the issue and move on.


You are right, the "new" audio engine has something with the Mogul's chipset, the older GIPS audio engine worked but Skype can no longer distribute that audio engine. I have forwarded this issue, but I don't know if/when is going to get fixed. Logically the audio engine developer is also involved not just skype. //Quote
