Thanks Phill,
I had already tried the webup8 suggestion before I mailed the list.
The noobslab suggestion didn't work either.
Right now, I don't have my headphones with me so I am trying to use the
internal mike and speakers with Skype.
I can see that Skype is running - the level indicator on the Pulse Audio
applet shows movement.
If I poke around I can get a hum to come out of the speakers, but
nothing else.
Other sound programs (cmus and YouTube viewed in Firefox are audible.
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.
Thank you,
John

Hi,
have a read of

However, I've just installed skype using as set of instructions based
around
http://www.noobslab.com/2014/01/skype-released-new-version-install-in.html
(The Qt bit is important).
Regards,
Phill.

Hi Guys,
I recently bought a ZaReason Strata 7440. I like the machine
except I am
having a lot of trouble with Skype.
Initially there seemed to have been some Alsa utilities installed,
but I
couldn't find anything for pulseaudio.
The sound on everything except Skype works. Skype says that the sound
devices are controlled by pulseaudio so I installed the Pulse
Audio Device
Chooser and can now access some pulseaudio settings.
The problem is that the most I can get out of Skype is a nasty
humming/hissing sound.
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.
Does anyone have an idea of how I can fix this?
Thank you.
