Every time I log in to Skype I hear a bad sound on top of the log-in sound. (I hear both bad sound and the log-in sound.) This problem has existed since I made the full install, (Skype is in my post-install script). Please help this is very annoying.

I've got this very strange error message when I typed skype -version

Another strange message When I typed skype

Skype version: 2.2.0.35

  • Do you have Pulseaudio package installed? If so, there is a problem between pulseaudio and Skype... try to remove it (pulseaudio) and install alsamixer full package. – Jorge Pinho Jun 28 '11 at 15:44

  • @Jorge that is not true. I use Skype + Pulseaudio and there are no problems. @Alvar the error message you got is not an issue. – RolandiXor Jun 28 '11 at 21:51
  • has is it anything to do with my bad sound? – Alvar Jun 28 '11 at 22:03
  • @alvar - postinstall script? Do you mean your startup applications? Try delaying the startup of Skype i.e. change the command to something like "sh -c "sleep 30 && skype &" – fossfreedom Jun 28 '11 at 22:21

As it is sometimes there is a very easy solution to strange problems.

sudo apt-get remove skype && sudo apt-get install skype
