One additional observation: While searching for this problem, I found this suggestion:
Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa find the line that says: load-module module-udev-detect and to the end of it add "tsched=0" so the line now looks like: load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0 If I do that and restart pulseaudio, skype works (I have not tested with flashplugin), but everything that works normally -- alsaplayer, vlc, system sounds, etc. -- does not. They just produce scratchy static sounds. Removing the tsched option and restarting pulseaudio restores the original problem -- system sounds, alsaplayer, etc work, but skype does not. Also FYI this is actually kubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1235537 Title: No audio on skype or flashplayer through firefox - 13.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1235537/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
