I installed Skype a well known problem is that the sound is coming out of my rear speaker:
Why is sound coming out only from the rear speaker of my device with Skype for Windows® phones?
Currently Skype for Windows® phones does not support audio routing to the front speaker.
For best results use a wired headset.

I searched xda-developers but couldn't find anything but posts of a few years back and non of them contained a solution.
Anyone know if there are some "tweaks" that make this possible?
Edit: Maybe this'll work:
New audio switch program for skype and others.
[APP][UPDATED]audioswitch
Windows Mobile - Routing audio through the Earpiece (PPC / SmartPhone)
I would like to report that I'm running Fring on Maple and it is able to switch audio to the earphone.
(Fring can make Skype and SIP calls!)

Are you kidding me? I can't get my ozone to do it whatsoever...I just hear no sound at all when I select "enable earpiece".

Hi,
I'm trying to record both uplink and downlink speech streams of my XDA II during a phone call.
I tried many different things but couldn't get working any of them:
- I first tried the waveIn/waveOut API and thought, in the first place, that I was able to record the incoming and outgoing audio streams, mixed together. But I quickly realise that what I was recording was only the sound from the mike, and that the speech of the downlink speech was going from the speaker through the air to the mike. So I was recording my own voice (from the mike) and the voice of the other part (from the mike too as the sound was going from the speaker to the mike).
- Then I had a look to the TAPI API. I was able to answer calls but it was impossible for me to access to any of the audio streams. I think it's a limitation of the device, and that the TAPI API hasn't been fully implemented on the XDA2. But I can't be sure of that.
- Now I'm trying to use RIL, which seems to be a layer below the other APIs. I believe it might be possible to access to the audio streams, but I have no idea how.
- I also think that the audio data of both streams must be stored in the memory, somewhere in the device. But where?
Any ideas or suggestions on this? Do you think I should keep investigating RIL?
Thanks a lot
Ben
There is 3rd party software that will do this.

Re: Record uplink/downlink speech streams? (WaveIn, TAPI, RI
there is no such a program. The only thing yor program can record is the sound from microphone. This can be tested by connecting a headset to the device and trying to record anything during call. Only ugly devices like Anextek SP230 can record both sides because microphone is wired to the speaker.
You cannot use RIL or TAPI to record calls. It is a limitation of both hardware and OS. Maybe WM2005 would support this.
Yes I don't thinck there is such a program (I've been looking for such a program for the past 2 weeks). All recording softwares you can find don't do much more than using the waveIn/waveOut API and so they record only the sound from the microphone.
Mamaich: Would the Anextek SP230 allow me to record properly both sides even if I use a headset while recording? How come the microphone is wired to the speaker? Does that mean that the sound going to the speaker goes also to the microphone? Wouldn't that introduce a lot of echo in the network during phone calls?
Even if we are limited by the OS there must be a way of getting the speech, because somehow the audio data must be stored somewhere in the device (either the GSM memory or the device memory). And that's what I would like to find out.
Thanks.

Yes. I owned Rover S1 which is based on Anextek and checked this.

There is no echo during phone calls, but when using VoIP and similar programs the echo is terrible.

Call is processed by the GSM module that has its own CPU (some sort of ARM with DSP extensions). You may reverse engeneer its firmware, but it is very complex. On XDAs its OS is based on "Nucleus PLUS - Version 1.0.G1.1" by ATI. In Anextek it is Siemens MC45 module.
Well all the people that claim that Vito sound software and others record both sides of conversation on the forum are lying?
Also it seems this article must be untrue
http://asia.internet.com/news/article.php/1383691
It says that 2 way recording is possible on the xda.
excerpt: Designed for busy people on the move, the device combines a color personal digital assistant (PDA) and General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) handset into one compact unit. Among the things that the users are able to do with the unit include recording a two-way phone conversation or a 'live' conversation, listening to music, watching video clips and reading e-books.
I have now tried vito sound recorder 2005 and it doesnt allow both sides of conversation to be recorded on my xda, I took a look around and it seems the old siemens sx45 had the capability with its recorder software, here is an excerpt.
The sound recorder lets you record from the built in microphone or for ultimate fun, both sides of a phone conversation, which can be played back whilst in conversation. Confuses the hell out of folks when they hear what they’ve just said.
In a sens they are not really lying because you can record both sides of conversation, if you allow the sound from the speaker to go to the microphone. If you don't use a headset and the volume of your speaker is high enough, that will be the case. The voice of the other part will go through the air before being recorded. That's why people claim that you can record both sides of conversation even though the quality of your recording is rubbish.
With vito you get perfect reproduction of the caller but zero from yourself.
I notice with skype (running OMAP at 240) when i make calls it is on speaker phone....any way to have sound come out of the earpiece, or toggle between it and speaker phone when i dont have headset in?
thanks...
stumped..
anybody aware of it?
I also want to know this as well..
Regardless of which entity is responsible for this not being implemented, the absence of small yet important features such as this are what make the entire Pocket PC platform seem juvenile at times
I downloaded skype v2 for wm5 yesterday, and it actually works on the wizard... HOORAY!!! download the version for the universal
and YES... it works with the headphones, otherwise sound goes to the external speaker
The new imate rom comes with skype 1.1 and it worked....but more as a technology demo... completely unusable unless you wanted to reset every other minute to get your contacts back... memory hog yadayadayada.
ref: http://forum.skype.com/viewtopic.php?t=51781
so its an issue....
that skype forum proves no help, no responses! hah
it is not an issue. it is how things work. there is not way to fix it. The normal phone speaker is hardwired to the gsm radio. there is no way to get any audio that does not come off of a GSM phone call to go to that speaker.
u ever used speakerphone with gsm?
So even though your GSM calls can be routed to the external speakers, the audio port or even a bluetooth device which uses the handsfree profile, you're telling me there's no possible way to route audio into the internal handset speaker. Do you know this for a fact or are you just making assumptions based on limited knowledge of these devices?
this isn't about speakerphones and such, as you're telling the audio signal to go to different places. what eguess is saying is that the little speaker we hear from isn't connected to a simple audio solder, but straight to the radio. and that radio doesn't get input audio from anywhere else but the radio itself. get it now?

So i was just wondering with skype work with a bluetooth headset? Thanks
not true. i could listen music in the built in earpeice once before while on the phone. it doesn't seem to work now. idk weird.
i could also listen to music on the included headset before while on the phone but it doesn't seem to work anymore.
so i don't think its hardwired. it must be in the registry somewhere enabling/disabling internal earpeice.

Well, not everything is in the registry either. Ok, why does Opera for PPC leave extra spaces? Absolutely ridiculous.

what about delay
I need to record something through the headphone jack on the wizard and don't know what software to get at all. Any recommendations would be great. I have windows mobile 6 TNT 4.0.
I don't know if they work for that, but you can try Resco Audio Recorder or Vito Audio Notes.

You should do a search (this forum, google, or other search engines for your inquiry, but I'll tell you now that there is no software that wil let you record from the ear buds jack. There might be some type of hardware out there ie: external microphone that will plug in for recording. 81252.25.11.1
Hi
I have installed skype. Audio comes through the loudspeaker, I have tried to route it to bluetooth earpiece ( jawbone prime) or at least use the front speaker.
Unfortunately no results.
I have tried audiorouter V1.0.1, BTaudio and even fring, no results, audio is still coming through speakerphone.
There an option in Bluetooth-> advanced-> play systems sounds through bluetooth but the sound ( my voice ) is distorted to the person I am calling.
Sounds like my voice has been speed up.
Any resoultion ?
Have the same issue
I have a HTC TP2 w/Plantronics Voyager PRO and the same thing I sound like a chipmunk. Skype was no help. Has Anyone figured it out?
Thanks

I had a similar problem, and have not found a solution, but instead I started using Skype To Go and instead of using Skype's software. it is just a regular phone call. Sound quality is much better, but it has it's limitations. I use skype almost exclusively for outgoing international calls and therefore it works for me. (it also works for me because I have a lot of unused minutes)
Hi,
Is there a way to connect a stereo microphone to a HTC Touch Pro ?
Just like the ones you see for an iPod, for instance.
If possible, what software to record from it ?
Thanks,
Alfred
no, the Touch Pro has only a mono audio in. As audio in adaper you can use the "HTC YC A300" or you prepare a headset cable with a mic plug....

what do you like to do with this solution? I use the Raphael + the "YC A300" adapter in combination with "Virtual Recorder" (http://www.4pockets.com/product_info.php?p=80) and/or "Meteor" (http://www.4pockets.com/product_info.php?p=82) from 4Pockets as mobile Recording device for a small radio station...
I have a Boss Micro BR with external stereo microphone.
I see that there is a lot of stereo microphones for MP3 players/recorders.
To move less hardware each time, it would be great if I could use my Raphael with such a software and a stereo microphone to record rehearsals of my band.
Maybe if some of these software developpers manage a way to use an USB stereo microphone ?
Don't you have latency or loss of time when recording with the Raphael ? For instance, I can't find a metronome software that don't hesitate sometime because of the background system activity or whatever.
Latency is no proble, for me - I need it only for voice recordings (interviews for the radio station). Check Meteor - this application has a metronom function too (cool application with a 12-channel mixer and cuting room - it's a trail version on 4pockets.com)
