 Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2015 5:04 am Post subject: apulse-skype woes [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I have net-im/skype-4.3.0.37-r5 and apulse-0.1.4 I really don't want to use pusleaudio, but I'm afraid that there is a problem somewhere. None of the following worked: | Code: | apulse skype
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32/apulse skype
i686-pc-linux-gnu-apulse skype |
Uhh... help? Please?
EDIT: The solution for the problem was to set the default sound card for the user using Skype.

If you emerged skype with USE=apulse, your /opt/bin/skype should already be a wrapper script, that is, just should be correct.
The next step is to check what skype->options->audtiodevices will show: If it detects "virtual device", it does not recognize apulse for some reason; the output must be "PulseAudio server (local)".
apulse is very sensitive to CFLAGS. For instance, -flto and friends will just make skype not recognize the apulse library (hence, you see the wrong output "virtual device").
If you see the correct output but hear nothing (or your micro does not work) you have play with ~/.asoundrc to set the correct (default) devices for apulse. |

Well, skype is set for "PulseAudio server (local)", so that seems to be okay.
But the asoundrc file seems pathological. I have
| Code: | pcm.!default{
type asym
playback.pcm{
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix:CARD=1,RATE=48000"
}
capture.pcm{
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:1,0"
}
} |
and card 1 is the only one which alsa has any sound controls for.

Then adjust asoundrc to match your hardware  |

(The sound of me beating my head against the wall)
The asoundrc file was completely correct. However, I gave skype its own user and neglected to move the asoundrc file over, so naturally it didn't do anything. 
Sound is now working as expected. Thanks.
