Make skype 4.3 and pulseaudio actually work
Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2014 2:34 pm
We imagine you use one of the lite BBQ versions without dbus and stuff. Running skype 4.3 will show 'virtual device' as sound devices. fuck it.
- install dbus and dbus-x11
- change the .xinitrc to load your WM with dbus-launch:
- update the system and get
- edit as root
and comment/remove the line
- the safest bet is to reboot the puter or restart X
- run pavucontrol and set your volume
- skype shall now work
- if not, in the aforementioned /etc/pulse/default.pa, uncomment
Good luck, and fuck skype :(
- install dbus and dbus-x11

nano /etc/pulse/default.pa
