Yes, they are working both. But I am using alsa, as pulseaudio is not starting properly after a reboot.

It makes sense, as I just need the latest one to create the keys for the connection, but need the prior one for using it with alsa. > > Can you please give me the output of the following command on your machine? > > $ dpkg -l \*skype\* \*pulseaudio\* \*alsa\* | grep ^ii > Sorry, as I said, I do not use pulseaudio, but alsa.
