Experiencing it here with both the version from the partner repo and the one from skype.com. Every other application works just fine, only Skype doesn't play a tone, except maybe a loud and ongoing distortion completely out of the blue.
Intel sound hardware here, too. Maybe hardware related? Skype does appear in the gnome volume manager, but not in pavucontrol. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208485 Title: [Thinkpad T520] Skype audio in Saucy broken Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In the last week or so Skype audio in Saucy has broken. I mostly don't hear anything but occassionally when I try to make a test call a get loud distortion until I kill Skype (and in some cases I need to reboot to get rid of it). I am running Intel, Skype 4.2.0.11 (the multiarch binary for 12.04 from the skype.com). Skype is a core requirement for many of us to work, so this is a pretty critical bug.
