I haven't tried skype with the Fedora 10 pulseaudio (which is supposed to be a lot better) but I generally tell skype to use a plughw device rather than the (default) pulse device. Fedora 9's pulseaudio was a bit poor when it came to converting 8kHz mono to 44.1kHz stereo. The alternative would be to use jack and have different, but arguably more interesting, problems :-) jch > > > On Di, Dez 09, 2008 at 10:45:43 +0800, Matthew Patenaude wrote: > >> I have recently had strange behavior show up with skype.
