Steps to fix Skype audio issue on Android

Here's what to do when experiencing a Skype audio issue on your Android device.

Reboot your phone

If you are on a call but audio issues keep popping up, start fixing the problem by restarting your phone. Press and hold the Power button. Tap Restart.

Check for permissions

Each app has a set of permissions in Settings that you can enable or disable according to your preferences. If some of them are turned off, you can experience audio issues when using Skype.

Here are the steps to follow:

• Head over to Settings
• Tap Apps
• Browse the list and select Skype

• Tap Permissions
• Tap Microphone
• Finally, choose Allow.

Check for app updates

When an app misbehaves, it's time to check for updates. Here's how:

• Launch Play Store
• Tap on your profile photo/avatar in the top-right
• Now, tap Manage apps & device

• Next, tap on Updates available
• If Skype is on the list, tap Update next to it.

Clear cache and data

Many issues can be fixed simply by clearing the app's cache and data. Here's how to do that:

• Go to Settings
• Tap Apps
• Next, find Skype and tap on it
• Tap Storage
• Next, tap Clear cache
• Now tap Clear data

• Reboot the phone
• Launch Skype.

Reinstall the app

If nothing seems to be working, remove the app from your device and install it again.

• Go to the Home screen
• Find Skype
• Tap and hold it
• Next, tap Uninstall or Delete

• Now go to the Play Store
• In the search box, type Skype
• Install the app
• Enter your credentials and start using the app.

Report an app issue

Apps may have bugs and issues; sometimes, the only way to get rid of them is by getting the latest version of the app that comes with the fix. But first, users must report the problem so the developers can find a solution.

Here's how to report an app issue:

• Open the app
• Head over to its settings
• You will find the option "Report a problem."
• Write a short explanation and tap Send

This option won't resolve the audio issue you're facing right now but could speed up the process. With that said, if nothing else helps, write a short report and keep checking for a new version.
