Full Version: No Sound under Fedora 7 x64

Hi there,

i'm trying to get skype working under fedora 7 x64 since 2 days without any luck.

My setup is the following:

I'm using ALSA with the jack-plugin, so i'm able to use non-jack applcations in jackd.

However, skype keeps complaining about not being able to open the shared libraries. I'll post all relevant errors and config files below:


When starting skype i get the following message and have no sound at all in skype:

ALSA lib pcm.c:2106:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_jack.so


Here's my .asoundrc:

CODE
pcm.jackplug {
        type plug
        slave { pcm "jack" }
}

pcm.jack {
        type jack
        playback_ports {
               0 alsa_pcm:playback_1
               1 alsa_pcm:playback_2
       }
        capture_ports {
               0 alsa_pcm:capture_1
                1 alsa_pcm:capture_2
        }
}


My modprobe.conf
CODE

alias eth0 sky2
alias eth1 sky2
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
alias scsi_hostadapter1 ahci

alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-hdsp
options snd-hdsp index=0


# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0


alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss



cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14rc3 (Wed Mar 14 07:25:50 2007 UTC).

skype version 1.4.0.74

I've already tried the following:

* changed the .asoundrc to not use the jack plugin, but the default setup of my soundcard
with the result that i didn't geht the "cannot open shared library" error anymore, but still there was no sound at all.

* uninstalled alsa-lib 1.0.14rc3, compiled latest 1.0.14.rc4. but when compiling on a 64bit system, i was missing the
32bit alsa library which again prevented skype from opening at all.


Here's my system specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, Asus Pw-5 Dh Deluxe (onboard sound deactivated in bios), soundcard: RME Hammerfall Multiface (hdsp).

If anyone could give me a hint what might be going on here, that'l make my day, thanks wink.png

Have you installed all the multilib RPMs? If you are missing the 32bit ALSA libs, you won't get audio.
