Skype Link Error

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

If an error is detected in connection between Skype and Call Graph during the recording, then the recording is stopped prematurely and a notification is displayed to that effect. Here’s how you can resolve the issue.

  • Check if you have any other Skype plugin installed which is causing a conflict. Try disabling them and record a test call to see if it works. Generally if you have another recording plugin, it will conflict. You’ll have to choose between the other plugin and Call Graph.
  • Check if your firewall is blocking the connnection between Skype and Call Graph. Try adding an exception rule for Call Graph.

Step 3: Highlight CallGraph.exe and click on the ‘Change’ button. If CallGraph is not listed there, then try restarting both CallGraph and Skype.

Step 4: Select ‘Allow this program to use Skype’ and click on the OK button.

Step 5: Wait till CallGraph system tray icon shows a green tick mark and the toolbar has the message ‘Ready to record’ at the bottom.

If you get a message from Skype “Another application (CallGraph.exe) is attempting to access Skype, but we are unable to respond. Please try to restart application.” then please try restarting both Skype and CallGraph. To restart CallGraph, right click on the CallGraph system tray icon and choose exit from the popup menu. More troubleshooting tips are here.

If you do not get any message from Skype then try making a call to Skype Test Call Service (echo123).

If you have authorized CallGraph and still can hear only one side of the conversation in the recorded file, then it might be a problem with your stereo file playback settings. Please try recording in the mono mode. The setting is in configuration -> recording tab.
