Hi All
I am still going through OS re-installation process. Fairly new to Mint 18.2 Cinnamon but I had Ubuntu for many years before. Never had that much trouble with Skype though...
It's all good video quality, people can hear me and all, but I can not hear anything. I have spend good part of the day searching, reading and trying to solve it. No success!
I tried all these methods also: viewtopic.php?t=151527
I am ready to give up on this... Please help.

Re: No Sound in Skype
Yes, but it is only a sound issue on my side. I can't hear a damn thing, while other side can hear me no problem. And yes it is only in Skype, all other audio and video applications checked and it's working fine. I seriously don't know what to do next. It's clearly a glitch with skype. It has to be...deepakdeshp wrote:Hello

Re: No Sound in Skype
Mint 18.3 is out now. You can upgrade to it and try Skype. Also install latest Skype version.

Re: No Sound in Skype
Did you install Skype by downloading or from repository?
Repository versions aren't the latest ones usually.

Both. Actually the one from Software Manager was latest version, but still didn't change a thing.deepakdeshp wrote:Did you install Skype by downloading or from repository?

So I started to fiddle some more with Skype audio options as this problem affects only this program. It appeared that on my ThinkPad running on Mint I couldn't hear anything for one silly reason - I had to plug in external speakers or use headphones. None of the settings would not run the integrated audio system.
What a battle... What a silly issue...

Re: No Sound in Skype

Re: [SOLVED] No Sound in Skype
Have you tried using the online Skype? Everything seems to work great for me, and you get the animated emoticons which don't work for me on the desktop version of skype. The online version is at https://web.skype.com/en/ and you just use your normal skype login info.
