Hi Robert,

  I was able to get Skype working on both of my Fedora 21 systems by
following these steps:

  The "rules" say to perform a full update first. Usually when I do this
something breaks and so do so at your own risk.

 yum -y update

Install Skype and the 32-bit pulseaudio files:

 yum -y install lpf-skype

 Here is the part that should fix your sound issues:

 yum -y install pulseaudio-libs.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686

 Then:

  Open Applications->System Tools->lpf skype

    Give root and then guest password

 To run Skype: Open Applications->Internet->Skype


  I hope this works for you! I have to say they did a good job when they
created this application.
