I' getting the following errors:

ALSA lib confmisc.c:1286:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'cards.USB-Audio.pcm.hdmi.0:CARD=0,AES0=4,AES1=130,AES2=0,AES3=2'
ALSA lib conf.c:4154:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib conf.c:4633:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib pcm.c:2211:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM hdmi

I thought I had loaded all the alsa resources necessary...what am I missing? My signature has my platform specifics.

ALSA lib confmisc.c:1286:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'cards.USB ...

I think i is not able to configure whatever you connect to usb. Are you using a usb headset?

no...using built-in SigmaTel STAC9200

funny I'm using debian lenny with same basic chip (intel with SigmaTel STAC9200).

No problem with skype at all. There was a discussion about Fedora and pulse audio. May be the fedora guys are going to help you.

Did you try to move away the ~/.Skype directory and restart?

regads

I didn't see any need to "move away" that directory since this is a clean install.
The only USB device Skype would be interested in is the webcam:

Vega USB 2.0 Webcam, which Skype does successfully recognize.

as far as I see I have similar chipset configuration but different video chip and usb web cam - I have Dell D520.

Have you assigned slots to the audio devices you are using. People reported success after doing this in similar situations.




This assigns same id to my devices.

Might help I hope!

The other thing I'm seeing in your issue is



This is something about HDMI and I dont understand where it is comming from.

Arent you willing to try the 2.1 skype version it has many changes addressing newer hardware (such as hdmi and different web cams).

regards

Thank you for taking the time to work with me on this...

Originally i installed the 2.1 beta, but when i read this article:

Skype on Fedora Linux

with a detailed howto and customized repo file i figured it would be safer.

after following the instructions i then started Skype repeatedly from the commandline, doing my best to fill in any missing supporting packages until only the errors listed in my previous post were left.

Now could be the time to run the 2.1 beta rpm and see if it solves the problem...the only question is whether or not the 2.1 rpm will see the 2.0.0.72 rpm as simply a previous version or a competitor...what do you think?

Hi, Quasaur,

I am not using rpm or deb package, I'm using the dynamic tar.gz.

You could backup the system directory if you have any fears and restore if fail (also because you've done some custom steps installing additional libraries).

Though, if everything is fine with your system, the rpm 2.1 should replace the 2.0 package. If it still does not work. do uninstall on the 2.1 rpm and try the dynamic tar.gz package.

regards

Hi!

Definitely will recognize to install 2.1 over 2.0 (in fact it may even be necessary for dependencies), though I assume you know that by now..

Just noticed someone had some kinda related ALSA errors which proved to be a permissions issue!

Best wishes

Great news: running the 2.1.0.47 version of Skype has no commandline errors (outside of some gtk theme issues). Now my next challence is to get gnome 2.26.3 to recognize my microphone.
