No sound only in Skype

Some days ago I did the full migration to systemd. I don't know if due to this or by one of the subsequent updates I lost the skype audio.

I have a SBLive card that was working well with skype prior to this conditon. And I've sound in other applications like youtube, vlc, mplayer... The system is X86_64.

When i test the config in skype (SB Live! 5.1 Dell OEM [SB0228], ADC Capture/Standar PCM Playback Default Audio Device (Sysdefault:CARDLive)) it looks as it was working, the call window appears and the time began to run when it is stablished, but I can't hear anything.

In the terminal it shows the following:

I read in other topic abut installing "lib32-alsa-plugins" but didn't work.

Any idea?

EDIT: Just realized gnome-sound-record is also affected. But Audacity is recording my voice OK.

Re: No sound only in Skype

With pulseaudio and lib32-libpulse I get the following error:

ALSA lib pcm_asym.c:106:(_snd_pcm_asym_open) capture slave is not defined
ALSA lib pcm_asym.c:106:(_snd_pcm_asym_open) capture slave is not defined

ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Conexión negada

ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Conexión negada

I'm playing with the configuration settings to see if I can get a working one.


Edit: Pulseaudio (Is it really necessary??) is running: 00:04:54 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog but it isn't at rc.d or systemctl:

sudo systemctl status pulseaudio
pulseaudio.service
	  Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
	  Active: inactive (dead)

I have and asound.conf pointing to pulseaudio:

# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
  type pulse
  fallback "sysdefault"
  hint {
    show on
    description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
  }
}

ctl.!default {
  type pulse
  fallback "sysdefault"
}

# vim:set ft=alsaconf:

Should I edit  (or delete) it in some way?


I forgot to mention that this error only happens with the SB card. If I use the integrated card (HDA_Intel) all works.

Re: No sound only in Skype

FIXED

Removing all the crappy pulseaudio thing (and gnome, BTW) all worked again.

Re: No sound only in Skype

Same problem here but if I try to remove pulseaudio I can't because dependencies.

[root@koven ~]# pacman -Rs pulseaudio
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gnome-settings-daemon: requires pulseaudio
:: pulseaudio-alsa: requires pulseaudio

But I don't want to remove gnome...

Any other solution or workaround to solve this problem?

Thanks

Re: No sound only in Skype

Removing ~/.pulse folder was my solution.

Thanks

Re: No sound only in Skype

Install pavucontrol. There you can set which is de default capturing device, or change de device associated to skype while it is using it, so make the test call and check pavucontrol.
