[opensuse] Skype, pulse, suses, the h/w or me?
I've tried installing the new Microsoft skype of a few of my machines and can't get it to work. The basic pulse audio seems to work, I can hear myself and make recordings and play them but trying to use the new & newly installed skype-4.2.0.11-suse121.i586 has problems. I make a test call and hear the announcer. I speak and hear myself on 'loopback' or whatever, but the playback is heavily distorted, scratch and sounds like one of the old Edson wax cylinders. I've tried this on a couple of machines but all have 00:05.0 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio and yes I've configured with Yast and tried variations. I can make it not work at all, but the best is taking defaults. I end up with $ lsmod | grep snd snd_hda_codec_realtek 71817 1 snd_hda_intel 32352 2 snd_hda_codec 122028 2 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 13273 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 97003 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_seq 63595 0 snd_timer 24319 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 14138 1 snd_seq snd 70562 12 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device soundcore 14600 1 snd snd_page_alloc 14037 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm and wonder about that Intel. How smart is yast in these matters? Oh, and pavucontrol says it can't connect --- I don't understand what that means for the rest of it all. I get $ start-pulseaudio-x11 E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed. My knowledge of the sound subsystem is minimal so I'm lost. -- How long did the whining go on when KDE2 went on KDE3?

Hi Anton, Try to install the "static" version of SkyPe which should get rid of local configuration libs and so on. I was using it on 12.2 and worked perfectly and now you make me curious to test it also on 12.3!
