Suse 11.2 x64/KDE 4.4 I know this seems to come up on a regular basis, but have looked and unable to find any fix....
Had skype running ok previously, thought i would take the plunge and try pulse audio - didn't work (struggled for ages trying to get *any* input - think it has an issue with my sound hardware - 82801JI...) so have uninstalled pulse audio (well, the bits I installed - Pulseaudio and the bits it automatically removes with it - leaves the volume control/admin and various other bits and plugins) Most things seem to be back to normal, but... there is no input into Skype. In Skype, I cannot choose any sound devices, only have "default" with no other choices. Have tried different versions of Skype, the latest (rpm, dynamic and static), and 2 previous versions which were working PRE-pulse... Any ideas on how to get Skype to recognise something...?? Thanks, John.
Hi, I don't know if this will fix your problem, but pulseaudio never worked for me on Skype either, so I had to go back to Alsa. After I get rid of pulseaudio, I run alsaconfig or alsaconf in terminal as root, I forget which command it is. Then, I go into yast and configure the sound card. It has always been unconfigured after this process. After that, I select Skype configuration in skype, and set up the microphone. It usually takes quite a bit of time to get it working right in the configuration. I have to lower the volume of several items to get good microphone sound for the call. I know that this doesn't exactly answer your problem, but maybe by doing the steps I have written your problem will go away.
