<div> Sound on Skype is very unpredictable. Sometimes it works well and sometimes it doesn't. I often get brake up (pauses) with speech. Or I find that the Skype Sound settings in Options have changed. Or before it worked now it won't.</div>

<div>Distro Mandriva 2009.1 Gnome</div>
<div>Starting skype I use root and the console with the following command:</div>
<div> </div>
<div># LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The web camera works OK Logitech Quick Cam Chat.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a Mad Dog Sound card installed although there's a Via card onboard which is disabled.</div>

<div>Sometimes the settings</div>

<div>Camera</div>
<div>Pulse</div>
<div>Pulse </div>
<div> </div>
<div>work OK and then it doesn't I get a message in the open console box Under run detected.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Rebooting sometimes helps but not always</div>
