Thanks Phill,<br>
<br>
I had already tried the webup8 suggestion before I mailed the list.<br>
The noobslab suggestion didn't work either.<br>
<br>
Right now, I don't have my headphones with me so I am trying to use
the internal mike and speakers with Skype.<br>
<br>
I can see that Skype is running - the level indicator on the Pulse
Audio applet shows movement.<br>
If I poke around I can get a hum to come out of the speakers, but
nothing else.<br>
<br>
Other sound programs (cmus and YouTube viewed in Firefox are
audible.<br>
This almost seems like there is some kind of problem due to the
original Alsa components interfering with the PulseAudio stuff I
installed. The reason I installed Pulse Audio is that Skype said
that my sound was controlled by Pulse Audio and the only thing I
could find was the Pulse Audio demon that was running. <br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>

<br>
I recently bought a ZaReason Strata 7440. I like the
machine except I am<br>
having a lot of trouble with Skype.<br>
<br>
Initially there seemed to have been some Alsa utilities
installed, but I<br>
couldn't find anything for pulseaudio.<br>
<br>
The sound on everything except Skype works. Skype says that
the sound<br>
devices are controlled by pulseaudio so I installed the
Pulse Audio Device<br>
Chooser and can now access some pulseaudio settings.<br>
<br>
The problem is that the most I can get out of Skype is a
nasty humming/hissing sound.<br>
<br>
The pulseaudio manager shows that Skype is on and the volume
is up. Sound should be coming out of the speakers, but the
most I can get is the hissing sound and that usually
requires some fiddling with options.<br>
Does anyone have an idea of how I can fix this?<br>
<br>
Thank you.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
