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?
