Hi,
I've spent the best part of a sunny afternoon trying to get Skype to
work on my CentOS 5 desktop.
My soundcard seems configured OK.
I can play sounds and hear them OK in my headset:
$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*.wav
I can record speech from my microphone OK:
$ arecord > ~/test.wav
... although I have to say that sound quality seems rather poor. It's
quite fuzzy. Other detail: curiously when I speak into the microphone I
don't hear my own voice in the headset.
I've installed the CentOS RPM from skype.com, but no matter what I do, I
can't seem to have outgoing sound. Whenever I do a test call (echo123),
there's no message left. I've been jumping through burning loops giving
all the options and their possible permutations a shot, to no avail.
Though curiously that thing worked on a Linux Mint 5 install. But then,
I won't change distro because of one small detail.
Any suggestions?
Niki
