Skype and Sound

[Ron Wenig]

Hi All,

I have Ubuntu Juanty 9.04 and Skype 2.0.072.  I am using an external 
Creative USB sound card.  My sound preferences are set to auto detect 
and everything tests fine and I have no trouble with any sound 
application.  I have no problem with Skype sound.  My problem is I 
cannot use Skype and listen to anything else at the same time.  If I am 
listening to say a web site video with sound and try to use Skype a 
message pops up saying there is a problem with the sound.  If I am using 
Skype and try to listen to say a web site with sound I don't hear 
anyting.  When I use Skype and use test under sound preferences there is 
no test sound.  It seems that Skype needs to have the sound to itself.  
I was wondering if anyone knows a fix for this.

Thanks,

Ron
