[SOLVED]Skype Sound Problems with Mageia 4

Postby Plisgyn » Jun 12th, '14, 21:13

I have just installed Skype 4.2.0.11 on Mageia 4 using the get-skype package and could only make a Test Call by
Code: Select all
killall pulseaudio && skype
as per https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1121. I progressed further by editing paprefs to enable the Simultaneous setting, now Test Call works but only if I manually start Skype after system is running, it fails if Skype runs automatically on starting session. Any ideas on the reason for this?

Now o/k I found that in kde control centre -> Multimedia -> Audio & Video settings I hadn't set all Device Preferences to prefer Simultaneous Output changing this fixed the problem.
