Using Skype in LE2005 [solved]

[tsm405]

Thanks a lot!

 

I would like to add that I did the following:

- went into mandrake control centre and

  -- installed all sound (kde) related libraries /software packages (including aumix).

- checked out kmix and saw that all buttons was lit with light green color. (no red buttons)

  -- on the output tab, saw to it that all yellow buttons were of the light ones (except video).

  -- ensured that all the sliders are at their maximum

 

And then when I ran kscd, the music turned on.

 

So is there a structured way to reproduce what went wrong? Dont really know!

Perhaps the mandriva team should fix this...

 

thanks once more

USING SKYPE IN LE2005

 

Hello,

 

Now that my sound system works (and I get a hang of kmix sliders and color coded buttons)

I find that skype is not fully functional. While I call up my skype contact, I can hear the ringing (and he uses skype for teleconferencing on a xp system) am not able to hear him nor he is able to hear me.

I checked my headset by recording my voice and playing it back over the head set (using gstreamer - sound recorder application)...and that works fine.

 

Skype chatting works fine(and am able to confirm the status with my friend over it...)

 

Has this got to do with permissions/ownership? (multiple applications/linux processes

claiming ownership over the same sound devices?)

 

Whats the way out to make skype (ver 1.0.2) fully operational

i use a SIP phone .. kinda like skype . the results you describe sound like what i get with my SIP when behind certain non compatable routers . can you confirm skype working behind your router on another pc or have you gotten skype to work at your place before ?

Try installing aoss (urpmi aoss).

Thanks for all the help

 

Skype works great!

 

A ) Ensured kmix sliders and button lights are correct (mic/capture for inputs

- lightred, all light green and full slider for outputs)

B ) used 'artsdsp -m skype' for invoking skype.

C ) ensured that no other unit is using the sound subsystem.

 

Once more thanks
