[opensuse-factory] No sound with skype on a newly installed Tumbleweed
As the subject says, skype does not give a sound. Looking in the skype program it informs me that it is trying to use a virtual device. How ccan I solve this problem> I have googled and at the installation I have seen to it that all necessary files have been installed. On this x86_64 computer that gives some 70 downloads of 32 bit files.. (interesting how Leap is going to handle this) Pavucontrol is installed and the sound card works great. . . -- Linux User 183145 using KDE4 and LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 20150909 (x86_64) Kernel: 4.2.0-6.g31d60fb-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.14.10 17:43pm up 0:17, 2 users, load average: 0.38, 0.90, 1.30 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I just went through exactly this, mostly with a string of command line entries. Here are excerpts from my notes... download and skype app from: http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/ sudo rpm -ivh skype-4.3.0.37-suse.i586.rpm 32 bit application sudo zypper in xorg-x11-libXv-32bit xorg-x11-libs xorg-x11-devel pulseaudio alsa-plugins-pulse alsa-plugins-pulse-32bit pavucontrol libv4l libv4l-32bit libv4l1-0 libv4l1-0-32bit libv4l2-0 libv4l2-0-32bit libv4lconvert0 libv4lconvert0-32bit pavucontrol-lang plasma5-pa pulseaudio-bash-completion pulseaudio-module-bluetooth libpulse0:i386 I did not do these all with one "zypper in" command; they happened over several days. The last one "libpulse0:i386" finally enabled all the other stuff to work. Before that was installed, I had the "virtual device" entries in Skype>options>sound devices, and no pavucontrol message. After installing, pavucontrol is available and the dropdowns show "PulseAudio server (local). This package was missing from the myriad of other instruction pages. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks. That did it. I did not find libpulse0:i386 but libpulse0-32bit.

libpulse0-32bit is not shown in the list of packages for 13.1 on that page. It _is_ in the list for 12.3, but I didn't get that far down the page. My login credentials don't work for that page or I would edit it. Would someone who has access could add that package to the 13.1 instructions?
