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
