<div>This maybe the answer to stuttering Skype Pulse sound. It means adding 3 groups </div>
<div>pulse</div>
<div>pulse-access</div>
<div>pulse-rt</div>

<div>then altering /etc/pulse/daemon.conf changing settings.<br>

Hi Geoff, <br>
<br>
Perhaps you know what is going wrong with Ununtu jaunty Skype - recently
I upgraded from ububtu 8.10 to 9.04 and although sound work well with
all non-skype applications the Skype complains that it have problem with
audio playback and capture device. <br>
<br>
Strace shows the problem is : <br>
<br>
ALSA lib pcm.c:2205:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi <br>
<br>
And I saw in=2
0ubuntu forums that smbody just installed skype build with
static oss bound, <br>
but I woul dlike to stay with alsa model. <br>
<br>
