[SOLVED] Crackling/distortion sound issues with Skype

Recently pulseaudio was updated version 5.0 this finally fixed my KDE issues where KDE would switch inputs after every login. But now I have a crackling sound issue in Skype but only on my end off the connection. The one I'm talking to sounds fine but he hears me all the distorted and crackling. I tried the Skype Test Call system and there I sound fine no crackling issues or distortions. Anyone else have issues like that currently or know that could be?

Re: [SOLVED] Crackling/distortion sound issues with Skype

Some things to try, that helped with youtube on a Ubuntu laptop:

sed -e "/^resample-method =/s/.*/resample-method=trivial/" -e "/default-sample-rate =/s/.*/default-sample-rate = 48000/" -i /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
sed -e "/^load-module module-udev-detect/s/.*/load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0/" -i /etc/pulse/default.pa

I tried the one already that didn't do anything. I will try your first suggestion and see if it helps.
