Public bug reported:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/648069/if-i-fix-skype-according-to-
another-au-thread-my-systems-sound-breaks-on-resta
Installing skype from the partner repositories. Try to start Skype. It
fails. Search online. Found someone else with same error message.
Follow instructions in first answer with similar error reported in
console. This was what I typed:
update-alternatives --display i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf
sudo update-alternatives --config i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf
(switched to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf (option "1") from
these options:
` Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/lib/nvidia-304-updates/alt_ld.so.conf 9701 auto mode
* 1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf 500 manual
mode
2 /usr/lib/nvidia-304-updates/alt_ld.so.conf 9701 manual
mode
`
then ran `sudo ldconfig`.
Fixes skype issues! Sound works, skype works.
Later:
Restart computer.
Damn. No ability to adjust sound through pulse, only through
alsamixer... the sound icon in the top right is greyed out, and system
settings sound stuff has no effect... and, on top of that, skype sound
is broken for playback, as well (though it does at least start, which is
did not do before I used the AU fix listed above).
ps aux | grep pulseaudio returns nothing, and pulseaudio -D doesn't work
Anyone able to explain what's going on?
output from running pulseaudio:
E: [pulseaudio] ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to open module
/usr/lib/pulse-6.0/modules/module-bluetooth-policy.so:
/usr/lib/pulse-6.0/modules/module-bluetooth-policy.so: wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64
E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to open module "module-bluetooth-policy".
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.
The bluetooth is a red herring, I have that intentionally disabled on
restart. That has not broken the sound before, it wasn't until skype
that it broke.
noticed that 'additional drivers' had me set to nvidia proprietary
driver now, so tried to change that back to X.org Nouveau... That was
hard, it wouldn't let me (I would restart and it would be right back on
nvidia). Finally it let me be on nouveau. But I had installed and setup
bumblebee previously... Maybe that's the source of my problem? But sound
used to work on nouveau, even... So frustrating...
