I have installed Skype 4.0.0.8 on my new workstation running CentOS-6.3 (kvm) and the Gnome DTM. This host has an Intel DG43GT motherboard with on-board audio. The sound works when tested in the sound preferences in the desk top.
Skype runs and the integrated usb video and microphone both work (I infer this from the mic test in Skype options showing movement on the intensity bar as I can hear nothing).
I have gone through all of the choices in the audio setting and none of them work. Are there any other packages or settings I should have installed or set to get audio working in skype?
Did you install a 32-bit version of Skype on a 64-bit system? (there's no 64-bit Skype, yet or ever)
If so, you'll have to install all the 32-bit stuff that Skype needs to get sound (pulseaudio and more). I remember I had to do this first when I installed an old Skype 2.x (then updating to 4.x was still OK). I've found the information online, it was related to Fedora maybe, can't remember exactly.
Regards,
