Had the same problem and was able to solve it by installing the 32bit version of the libasound2-plugin module:
sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins:i386 It seems it is a problem of some missing files in the 64bit version (or respectively of some files that are not needed any more in the 64bit version but nevertheless used by skype) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/888874 Title: skype ubuntu 11.10 oneiric "problem with audio playback" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/888874/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
