Skype Auto Volume Pains

September 15th, 2006 Leave a comment Go to comments

Skype We all love Skype but it’s a pain when you tell it to leave your volumes alone and it fiddles with them anyway. Well in a blatent steel from a mates blog here’s the solution -

  1. Close Skype if its open.
  2. Open C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Skype\YOURSKYPEACCOUNT\Config.xml, with your favourite text editor
  3. Find and edit the existing AGC element and change the 1 to a 0.
  4. Add a new AGC element as a child to the Call element; again it should have a value of 0.
  5. Save and close Config.xml.
  6. Open C:\Documents and Settings%USERNAME%\Application Data\Skype\Shared.xml, and add another AGC element as a child to VoiceEng element; again ensure that it has a value of 0.
  7. Restart Skype, and test using the echo123 service.

    Watch subject. Bush is forever saying that democracies do not invade other countries and start wars. Well, he did just that. He invaded Iraq, started a war, and killed people. What do you think? How does that work in a democracy again? How does being more threatening make us more likeable?Isn’t
    the country with the most weapons the biggest threat to the rest of the world? When one country is the biggest threat to the rest of the world, isn’t that likely to be the most hated country?
    Our country is in debt until forever, we don’t have jobs, and we live in fear. We have invaded a country and been responsible for thousands of deaths.
    We have lost friends and influenced no one. No wonder most of the world thinks we suck. Thanks to what george bush has done to our country during the past three years, we do!
