Comment 31 for bug 273693

Hello,

When running either skype_2.0.0.72-0medibuntu4 or skype-
static_2.0.0.72-0medibuntu4 from the terminal I get the following
statements.

ALSA lib pcm.c:2196:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi
ALSA lib pcm.c:2196:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi

ALSA lib pcm_bluetooth.c:1619:(bluetooth_init) BT_GETCAPABILITIES failed : Input/output error(5)

The sound doesn't work at all in skype. I cannot make calls. I don't
understand what's happening, as I'm not trying to use a bluetooth.
Although this has happened to me (without the bluetooth issue) while
running skype on hardy heron 8.04, it didn't happen all the time. My
real problems with skype began when I installed a fresh copy of Intrepid
Ibex (8.10).

I tried skype-static-oss 2.0.0.72-0medibuntu4 and the sound works, but
my usb microphone doesn't seem to be supported (usb microphone embedded
in a logitech quickcam pro for Notebooks).

When I got everything to work while running skype on hardy heron 8.04,
even then If I used the microphone in conjunction with the video, the
mic would screw up the video image. I had to use a separate mic or not
use the cam at all!

I've checked that I have all the apparent fixes and I have everything up to date, but my problem is not solved!
