I have what I believe is a related problem in Maverick xubuntu. My incoming call alert cannot be heard while everything else can.
I think this is because skype uses some system-wide alert sound system to play the sound, which you can apparently change in the Ubuntu alert sound settings (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1531112). Anyone know what's going on here? Unfortunately I am using Xubuntu, which has no system wide alert sounds, or at least I can't find them. I don't know what to do with that, do I file this bug against xubuntu in some way aswell? A hackey work-around is to set, in skype options --> Notifications --> Incoming Call Ringing --> Advanced View --> Execute the following script (bottom one) and add something like: 'aplay /usr/share/skype/sounds/CallRingingIn.wav', which will play it normally (you might need to install the alsa-utils package) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/594140 Title: some sound volumes too low to hear -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
