Number of users confirming this error: ???
As I understand it, even if the error does not affect all users, many already faced with it, and most likely the problem is global in scale. But while the developers have not released a patch, I suggest you a temporary solution on how to fix this error.
How to fix the problem?
First you need to determine on which side the error occurs. To do this, both of you should try to make a test call — who does not hear the voice of the robot, then he should follow the instructions listed below (although not exclude that both can experience problems).Solution
The problem may be solved in some ways:-
The first is the easiest: close Skype, click right click on the Skype shortcut, choose "Properties", go to the "Compatibility" tab, put a check in front of the option "Run this program in compatibility mode" select «Windows XP (SP3)», click "OK" and run Skype. It should be noted that in this case, the program may become unstable. This method suggested the blog reader ZumZum (and though he had another error associated with the sound during the screen demonstration, this method certainly works).
-
The second, more radical way: you should to remove Skype and install the 7.25.0.106 version.
7.16.0.102 version. I found this solution myself, so to speak, method of spear (though it was not difficult because I already knew that the 7.18 version does not work properly).
-
If the previous suggestions do not help, and you have installed the Avast antivirus, try temporarily to disable it. If you use proxy, try direct connections.
-
The next one to try, open Skype → Tools → Options → Skype Translator, uncheck the «Enable Skype Translator» option and click «Save».
-
Incorrect Internet Explorer settings (for example, enabled “Offline mode” or disabled HTTPS) may also be the cause of the lack of outgoing calls. If there is no time to deal with IE settings, reset Internet Explorer settings.
- In extreme cases, it’s worth trying to disable the NGC audio codec (instruction).

+1), #I use Windows XP. When I tried the Skype's latest version I was unable to make calls - a voice was telling that the "number I dialled was temporarily unavailable.
I came across this thread two weeks ago and tried with the 7.25.0.106 version. It worked and I was able to talk but since today I once again can't make calls - it says I was using an old version of Skype and have to download the new one, which does not work. I just tried with 7.16.0.102 but to no avail.
What should I do now?
+1207), # ↑+1), # ↑I did try the other suggested solutions as well: by clicking on the Skype shortcut "Properties" I have only two tabs: "General" and "Shortcut" and no Compatibility tab. I also looked in Skype → Tools → Options → but I could not find "Skype Translator".
Is the Skype team trying to make the latest version compatible?

When making a call and using the Dial Pad to select the option for Touch Tones, they will not work if you have subtitles enabled on the call.
To workaround this issue simply disable subtitles: Select your profile picture > Settings > Calling > Call Subtitles, then turn off the option to Show subtitles for all voice and video calls.
Note: If you don't have the option turned on to Show subtitles for all voice and video calls but have turned subtitles on for an individual call, starting a new call with your contact will resolve this issue.
