Hi Robert, I was able to get Skype working on both of my Fedora 21 systems by following these steps: The "rules" say to perform a full update first. Usually when I do this something breaks and so do so at your own risk. yum -y update Install Skype and the 32-bit pulseaudio files: yum -y install lpf-skype Here is the part that should fix your sound issues: yum -y install pulseaudio-libs.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 Then: Open Applications->System Tools->lpf skype Give root and then guest password To run Skype: Open Applications->Internet->Skype I hope this works for you! I have to say they did a good job when they created this application.
