Do you have a working version of Skype? If so, can you give me the exact versions of skype, pulseaudio you are using? How is your microphone connected (USB?)? What model of microphone do you have that is working with Skype? How did you configure the sound devices? Did you have to make any changes in the "Open PulseAudio Volume Control" box or it did it work out of the box. There are so many variables here and just saying "it should work" is not helping. > To get the old skype (version 4.2) > running, which can be used with alsa, use the workaround, I found out: > > 1.

Why is installing and removing Skype 4.3.0.37 necessary before installing 4.2? Why is it necessary to activate autologin. Can you please give me the output of the following command on your machine? $ dpkg -l \*skype\* \*pulseaudio\* \*alsa\* | grep ^ii In my case, I have ii alsa-base 1.0.25+3 all ALSA driver configuration files ii alsa-utils 1.0.27.2-1 amd64 Utilities for configuring and using ALSA ii libsox-fmt-alsa:amd64 14.4.1-4 amd64 SoX alsa format I/O library ii pulseaudio 5.0-13 amd64 PulseAudio sound server ii pulseaudio-module-x11 5.0-13 amd64 X11 module for PulseAudio sound server ii pulseaudio-utils 5.0-13 amd64 Command line tools for the PulseAudio sound server ii skype 4.3.0.37-1 i386 Wherever you are, wherever they are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
