[Bug 980320] Re: Skype silently crashes on Ubuntu 64bits

 

Hi,

I found my problem. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 32-bits.

First I tried doing what ArTaX suggested, which basically disables
Pulse. Skype works, but Ubuntu sounds controls do not, so you need to
use alsamixer to adjust volume settings.

What solved all my problems was restore Pulse and then, in Skype
options, unmark the option 'Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer
levels'. After that the problems was fixed.

With that option enabled, I could reproduce the issue consistently: two
test calls, and Skype was frozen. After unsetting that flag, I was able
to perform as many test call as I wanted and Skype was still working.

Probably is not the issue that all of you are experimenting, but I hope
this can help some of you.

Thanks!
