Hello,
Does anybody know whether it is possible to use Skype on the Fit-PC2i with Ubuntu 10.04?
If yes, I would appreciate it very much, if somebody could explain exactly, step by step and fool-proof how to get it working.
I have already downloaded and installed Skype through the Ubuntu software center, but I hear no sound, neither from the Skype-"Echo / Sound Test Service" nor any feedback (as usual) from the microphone of my headset.
I also checked the sound preferences. Everything looks OK there.
Many thanks in advance!

Skype audio should work, but I haven't tried it. Skype video will not work with the psb driver, as Xv is still not supported. People are working on that, but as they are all volunteer developments proceeds really slowly. Can you hear other sounds, e.g. playing a media file? Is pulseaudio and alsa setup correctly?

No, I can not hear any sounds, and how can I check whether pulseaudio and alsa are setup correctly? I'm not familiar with theses terms.fly wrote:... Can you hear other sounds, e.g. playing a media file? Is pulseaudio and alsa setup correctly?

Well, if you can't hear any sound at all, it doesn't seem to be a skype problem...
Check, if alsa sees the sound card:
If so, check the volume of master and pcm:

Does this look OK?

Looks fine so far. Now try
If it throws an error, include the message here. You might want to check if your user is in the audio group:
If it display something like "WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate: 48000 Hz, mon" it should be setup correct.
Code: Select all
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
Code: Select all
groups

Yes, that's pretty much what it displays.fly wrote:If it display something like "WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate: 48000 Hz, mon" it should be setup correct.
But now there's still no sound - so what else can be done?
