I installed the beta for suse 11.1, and it appeared to go in just fine. I called echo123, and got both the robot and the recording of my voice.

Then two of my sons called, and both hear only noise from me, although we all see one another's video, and I hear them clearly. They also hear one another clearly.

One of my sons said he'd had a similar problem with Fedora, and it turned out to be Pulse -- but I'm pretty sure I didn't install Pulse, and I can't find it in my system. rpm -qa pulse returns null.

I'm on a hp dv6000 laptop with Intel audio, using the snd_hda_intel driver. Other sound-related modules from lsmod are snd_pcm_oss, snd_mixer_oss, snd_seq, snd_seq_device, snd_pcm, snd_timer, snd_hwdep

info.product = '82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller'

Can anyone help?

...ok, so today I try one of them, and it all works fine. There was an update last night to videolan and its libraries, and I had a crash which required a reboot. I don't which cleared it up, or whether it was random, or what. I haven't tried my other son, yet.

Congratulations for coming sofar:
I also installed the beta on a OpenSUSe 11.1 machine.
YaST did not give any comment.
If I press on the icon It shows me something to read but it disappears in about
2 seconds. I made a folder /Log under /.Skype.
But unfortunately the produced logs at startup are blob's
Any idea what went wrong? Thanks for you answer

One of my sons said he'd had a similar problem with Fedora, and it turned out to be Pulse -- but I'm pretty sure I didn't install Pulse, and I can't find it in my system. rpm -qa pulse returns null.

--So, now, I decide to look for some troubleshooting tools with Yast, and...

Yast shows pulse. Why didn't rpm -- I thought yast used rpm!?

However, fiddling with the pulse controls (pavucontrol, pamanager), I've now wrecked what I had before -- echo123 now just sends back noise. So, no I can't help now. Jonathan_R, did the stuff you posted solve your problem, or were you also showing what you had just to be complete?

It's fixed. After reading some others' troubles and their fixes, I removed all traces of Pulse except the one library that was required by kde, and now all my audio and Skype work just fine. I was really hoping that having the Skype version written for Pulse would make it solvable with Pulse. Too bad.

I've read suse's justification for installing Pulse with the distro, and I agree with the general principle, but I sure wish they'd get it fixed.
