Subject: No sound in Skype on Fedora 64-bit
Seems to be talking about installing lpf-skype even on an x86_64
system
and it basically works? Some sound problems but work around them?
Or:
http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2012/install-skype-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel-scientific-linux-sl/
I can always run it on my samsung phone, but want to use it on my
notebook.
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.
Install worked great. I can hear the test call, but not my recording.
First time ever using the mic, so no telling what the problem there is.
I am on a Lenovo x120e x86_64 with Xfce.
"sudo yum -y install pavucontrol", then run it:
Applications Menu->Multimedia->PulseAudio Volume Control
Click on the "Input Devices" tab and you can select your input device
(and see a quasi-VU meter showing incoming levels). Just keep selecting
different ports and tapping the mic until you see the meter jump.
I had this already installed, it seems. When I open it and go to the
Input Devices, I do not have a quasi-VU meter. Perhaps this is a
limitation of Xfce. And the Recording tab says no application is
currently recording. But Skype is running.
I'm running F21 Xfce and I see the VU meter just fine. It's the long,
thin bar just above "> Advanced". Input should show up with that bar
filling with blue from the left, depending on the volume of the input.
Try selecting other input devices (if you have any) and see what
transpires.
As far as the recording tab, it won't show anything unless at least one
application is actually USING the input (e.g. Skype during a call).
Simply having Skype running will not show up.
As an example, bring up the volume control and click on the recording
tab. Bring up "Sound Recorder". You won't see anything on the recording
tab. Then click "Record" on the sound recorder and you should see that
app (and a VU meter) appear on the volume control display.
