[SOLVED] No sound only in Skype?

I have sound working on my system completely, sans Skype. I did not have PulseAudio installed when I installed Skype, yet Skype somehow put "PulseAudio Server (local)" in audio settings. Installing pulseaudio didn't really help - pavucontrol doesn't see my card for whatever reason.

Help?

Ninja edit: I did try this:

 echo "autospawn = no" > ~/.pulse/client.conf

no luck

Edit2: the above command helped, I just forgot to run killall pulseaudio. Sorry for wasting database space

Re: [SOLVED] No sound only in Skype?

Actually I don't consider this solved since after rebooting, the solution doesn't work (unless you kill pulseaudio again). It's a bit of a hassle to kill pulseaudio after each reboot. Especially when I use pulseaudio for other things while using skype. Currently I have no sound in skype after configuring pulseaudio from the wiki. Other software works fine under pulse except skype. I am running Arch x86_64 and I have installed skype from multilib, lib32-libpulse and other required packages listed in the wiki. As mentioned before the topic solution works but is tedious. If anyone knows a way to get skype fully working with pulseaudio under Arch x86_64; please let me know. Thanks
