    Re: [SOLVED] Skype sound problems

    I've never been able to get Ubuntu Skype to capture my microphone. Between that and the fact that Skype on Ubuntu is rather plain and option-free compared to the current version for Windows, adds up to one of the very few reasons I even keep Vista on my computer.
    I switched to Windows because of all the disappointment Linux brought me.

    Re: [SOLVED] Skype sound problems

    Hi!
    I have Karmic Koala and I had no ringing in and other notification sounds in Skype. I found out, that their volume was set to zero in the system settings.
    So, the solution is to go System-> Preferences-> Sound preferences -> Sound effects and set the "Alert volume" from zero to something higher. Thats it. Now it is working!
    The alert volume was probably set to zero when the login sound of Ubuntu was deactivated.
