Comment 2 for bug 473102

Hi,

Would you be kind enough to check if the issue is the interaction with Pulse Audio?

The test I propose you is to disable pulse audio, then try to place a call to see if it makes any difference:

First kill pulseaudio:
$ pulseaudio -k

Remove the pulseaudio package:
$ sudo aptitude remove pulseaudio
(it will probably remove the meta package ubuntu-desktop, please note down any other package as you might need to reinstall them)

Run the Monitor System application (under Administration->Monitor
system) and make sure there is no pulseaudio process in the Process tab.
If it is there, kill it.

Run (or restart) Ekiga
Place the call using Ekiga.

To reinstall the system you can use:
$ sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop

And finally restart pulseaudio:
$ pulseaudio -D

Best regards,
Yannick
