[gentoo-user] PulseAudio 1.0-r1 + Skype ==> Garbled output sound

[gentoo-user] PulseAudio 1.0-r1 + Skype ==> Garbled output sound

[Hilco Wijbenga]

Hi all,

As indicated by the subject, after installing PulseAudio-1.0-r1 the
microphone output is garbled with Skype (2.2.0.35-r1). Downgrading
PulseAudio fixes the problem.

To be clear, incoming sound is fine (and any other sounds, AFAICT),
the problem is only with outgoing sound.

Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas on how to fix it with PulseAudio 1.0-r1?

Cheers,
Hilco

I haven't tried the masked version, but I follow the PA maillist and
haven't seen anything like that. I'm forwarding this message to them,
let's see what they say about it.
I'll be sure to replicate their messages here in the future.

My bad, hadn't synced yet before that post. I'll test it throughly and
tomorrow (today, 29/09) I'll give feedback.
Can you reproduce the reported error? I won't file the bug just yet.

Assuming you're talking to me ... I expect so. Would you like the
"pactl list" and "alsa-info" too? And I assume this is when I've got
PulseAudio-1.0-r1 installed?

I do need Skype working though (I work remotely so Skype is rather
important). Let me know if you need my help and I'll reinstall 1.0-r1
and get you the info.

Tested today pulseaudio-1.0-r1 with skype-2.2.0.35-r1 without mic problems.
Had to test with echo123, but it worked, anyways.
Emerge pavucontrol and check your devices' profiles.

The new pulseaudio-1.0-r2 (with the version patch mentioned on the
PulseAudio ML) works fine. Thanks!
