This might be a handy workaround for Skype until the pulseaudio bug is completely fixed:
Create executable /usr/bin/skype-wrapper
with the following content:
PULSE_SERVER=127.0.0.1 /usr/bin/skype &
And now change the desktop file so that the new script will be called when using the menu:
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop
and change
Exec=skype
to
Exec=skype-wrapper
When you open Skype, go to Options > Sound Devices, and select:
- Microphone: HDA Intel PCH, ALC286 Analog Default Audio Device (sysdefault:CARD=PCH)
- Speakers: HDA Intel PCH, ALC286 Analog Front speakers (front:CARD=PCH.DEV=0)
- Ringing: HDA Intel PCH, ALC286 Analog Front speakers (front:CARD=PCH.DEV=0)
Apply & Close or make a test call, and you'll notice everything (including the mic) works.
