Public bug reported: Skype was working perfectly for me in hardy but when I upgraded to intrepid pre-release it stopped working. I was previously using "default device" in the sound settings of Skype (for both input and output). In intrepid I cannot get it to work regardless or what sound options I try. FWIW, I'm running an integrated intel HDA card with a Realtek ALC268 codec. Thpugh, when I run alsamixer the listed chipset is pulse of course (I'm using the default config for everything, no hacks).
I have the exact same version of Skype (latest) and the Skype version didn't change when I upgraded (obviously). Therefore I believe that somebody changed something in the underlying sound infrastructure and while possibly fixing some other bug they also accidently screwed up Skype functionality. I looked at "info sharedlibrary" using gdb and these are the ones that I think are the sound related modules inside Skype. It looks likely to me that this problem was a result of a change inside either Pulse Audio or inside ALSA. 0xb7e92530 0xb7f24068 Yes /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 0xb6dca8b0 0xb6dda388 Yes /usr/lib/libaudio.so.2 0xb6bcc9a0 0xb6bcd698 Yes /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 0xb67dabd0 0xb68019c8 Yes /usr/lib/liblcms.so.1 0xb6709670 0xb670bbc8 Yes /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_pulse.so 0xb5ab3c60 0xb5af0638 Yes /usr/lib/libpulse.so.0 0xb6878990 0xb6879f24 Yes /lib/libcap.so.1 0xb6702ad0 0xb6705288 Yes /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so 0xb5d16c30 0xb5d18d48 Yes /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_rate_speexrate.so Not being able to use Skype is a _big deal_ for many I suspect, and I really hope this can be fixed somehow despite Skype not being FLOSS. Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide to clarify this problem. ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [REGRESSION] skype audio input/output broken in intrepid (worked in hardy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288269 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
