Problem with skype audio

[Girish Sasikumar]

I know skype is not in the official repo, but still it is one of the most widely used package in Ubuntu I believe

I am running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty alpha 3 with kernel version 2.6.28-5.5 and I am unable to use skype 2.0.0.72 audio; other multimedia softwares work without a problem though.

Skype gives an error 'Problem with audio'. I tried changing the audio device settings of both Ubuntu and Skype, but none seems to make it work. I think it has got something to do with the new audio management system in 9.04.

Hope u fix it before final release..........

Thanx

The bug was an Ubuntu related, but with the latest set of pulse audio
updates in Jaunty it is getting solved in the two machines I tested. Thanx
for the support.
