Sound output wasn't working for skype but luckily i stumbled on this solution:
If you are packaging Skype for your distribution, you need to change the Exec line in your Skype .desktop file as follows:
Exec=env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 skype %U
If you are a user, and your distribution doesn’t already carry this fix (as of about a week ago, Ubuntu does, and as of ~1 hour from now, Gentoo will), you need to launch Skype from the command line as follows:
$ PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 skype
Through terminal i managed to launch skype by using this command: PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 skype (different from the suggested) and skype DID worked!
However i want to add skype to the autostart programs list and i tried several things and neither of them worked.
I changed the command from the shortcut of the application skype %U to the one suggested and nothing changed, I changed the command to the one that worked in the terminal and actually still nothing.
Since through the terminal command it actually works, can't i make an autostart entry for that terminal command (by making an executable script file and puting it to autostart??? - don't now how though
) in order to launch skype upon login?Thanks in advance for the support!
