I have the same problem on 12.04. Using XFCE. Skype uses 100% of one CPU all the time (have an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T), even when not calling or receiving calls. It just idles at 100%...

It's possible to temporarily eliminate the delay in Skype by switching pulse's output during a call. I start the call, switch from my usb headset to the built-in speakers, then back to the headset. For the rest of the call things are good.

I am having the same problem since I upgraded to Jaunty. I can hold a conversation for a little while, then the sound goes quiet, the CPU on one core hits 100%, they can hear me but I can't hear them. If I kill skype or use the Pulse volume control to kill Skype.real Skype works again. I have tried lots of changes and recommendations. http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=306381&st=0 has numerous reports of this bug and suggestions none of which work, infact I think medibuntu and ubuntu launchpad and forums have numerous related bugs. I am happy to perform any debugging process if you tell me how. Skype is pretty much unusable at the moment and I depend on it for work. If it isn't fixed soon my colleagues will force me to migrate back to Windows :( so I am desperate that it is resolved soon!

[Bug 362203] Re: Skype high CPU use on 9.04 using pulse (and audio recording/sending delay >5sec)
I think I have somewhat of a solution. I was able to get Skype to run perfectly fine, just as it did on Hardy. I set all options to pulse audio, then ran the following commands: sudo echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy restricted main multiverse universe" >> /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins=1.0.15-1ubuntu3 libasound2=1.0.15-3ubuntu4 libpulse0=0.9.10-1ubuntu1 -d sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/lib* reboot . Unfortunately, this completely breaks every package manager on Ubuntu. Fixing the package managers will undo the changes, and can be done with this command: sudo apt-get install -f . . After returning to the normal Jaunty libraries, pulse appears to run perfectly fine with multiple applications running at the same time (tested Skype, Audacity, Flash plugin, Mplayer). The only problem I've noticed was that Pulse Audio "test" does not work correctly under: System>Preferences>Sound It gives this error: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Failed to connect: Connection refused -- Skype high CPU use on 9.04 using pulse (and audio recording/sending delay >5sec) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I hate this bug just as much as anybody else, but let's not forget this is a _bug report_ for _pulse audio_. It's not a forum, not necessarily a discussion thread, and not using pulse audio is a solution, but not a workaround. Having said that, I am also very interested in find out if there's any real workaround, so if anybody finds one - let us have it. DRM 'manages access' in the same way that jail 'manages freedom'.

It's in progress in karmic. There is no simple workaround that also uses PulseAudio (i.e., requires pulseaudio mainloop changes and linux changes).

[Bug 362203] Re: Skype high CPU use on 9.04 using pulse (and audio recording/sending delay >5sec)
Sorry, Martin, I agree, maybe it is not leak. I just see that when you start a skype call using pulseaudio, skype consumes more and more CPU memory with time and I think this finally results in audio delays. It seems like leak of memory, but I am not sure what is the real reason. Without pulseaudio it occupies small amount of memory which does not increase with time. -- Skype high CPU use on 9.04 using pulse (and audio recording/sending delay >5sec) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 362203] Re: Skype high CPU use on 9.04 using pulse (and audio recording/sending delay >5sec)
Thomas, to change the setting of sound in your computer you can use the main menu (usually on the top of screen) chose System, then Preferences, then Sound. In the window, which opens, in the bottom you will see "Default mixer tracks". Change "device" to HDA Intel (Alsa mixer). Above this part in the same window you see "Sound capture" and ..."test". Check if sound recording works well (press "test" and say something in microphone. You must here your voice playing back). Then open skype options, find "sound devices" and change "sound in", "sound out", "ring" to HDA Intel.

Yes, using pulseaudio with skype in 9.04 gives a leak of memory, but fortunately it is possible to avoid using pulseaudio with skype. First, I changed my sound settings (System->Preferences->Sound->Detault mixer tracks) to HDA Intel (Alsa mixer). Then in Skype I changed all three sound device options (sound in, sound out, ring) to HDA Intel.
