[Solved] need older Skype

Postby Silver22 » Aug 12th, '14, 01:02

I just found out Skype 4.3 no longer supports ALSA. Is there some way I can get an older version?

FWIW, I read some older Skype .deb packages are still available.

Thanks kindly

edit: Got the sound configured and Skype configured and it works fine now.

Why do you need ALSA? And if you need an older version, better ask in Skype forums.

You should be aware that the older version also contain more vulnerabilities ...
