Hello,

I just installed Fedora 8 64-bit and Skype immediately afterwards. When testing I've experienced following problem: test sound can be heard only on left channel. After I change audio devices in audio settings problem was solved but now there is another problem: after I apply settings, made test (succesfully), close settings window and try call someone I got following message: "Problem with audio playback".

Maybe I am missing something, but didn't I just set up those settings ? More interesting, when I make test call from settings window, everithing seems OK again.

Any ideas,

Thanks,

Josip

Me too - I have the same problem with 2.0.0.68 & 2.0.0.72 in Ubuntu.

I posted comments to Jira, please see:
https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCL-186
https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCL-254

I have found a workaround: open "Options" window, click "Sound Devices" and click "Make a test sound" button. After that everything is OK.

Of course it would be great if Skype developers fix this, because the workaround is really simple.

The fix is not as easy as it seems, under Fedora 8 there are problems with pulseaudio that is not yet fully supported by Skype

Josip,
does my workaround work for you in Fedora?

Sorry don't have Fedora here installed

Sorry I did not reply for such long time, I was away most of the time.

The trouble is that after I establish contact, make conversation and hang up I cannot establish another connection - I need to go to settings box again. Even worse, sound began to behave more erratically: I make few sequential attempts to connect and suddenly test system starts to respond but when recording test starts it reports capture device error.

Now I am lost completely - the sam thing is in OpenSuse which probably indicates hardware related issue (not malfunction, only slight incompatibility - sound device is Intel HDA).
