Hi Adil, Sorry about the delay, but things happen.
I have been trying out Skype 2.1 Beta, which uses the pulse audio server. Clean install on Ubuntu 8.04.3 resulted in video as we use v4l1 but no sound as try as I could, I couldn't get Ubuntu settings to work with skype settings. The audio setting in Skype 2.1 doesn't seem to offer any choice, whereas previous you could select different settings which I had to do to get everything working. Next up was Jaunty ( I don't bother with Intrepid any more). This time no sound or video as v4l2 presumably still not supported. My third effort was a clean install of karmic alpha 5 and sound worked straight away without any tweaking, but the video still requires the work around of pre loading the v4l1 driver. Cheese works well with v4l2 ( Intrepid, Jaunty and Karmic) but skype is still a problem Adil Arif wrote: > Thank you for responding to me, I was afraid that this bug was going to go > unresolved.
