Hi all!
I've finally been reduced to having to install Skype on my Linux box. I resisted for years, but now ended up trying it.
and while the latest RPM installs just fine, it refuses to acknowledge that I have a microphone!
In fact I have two: 1 in the USB web cam (it finds the cam), the second in a Plantronics USB headset, which works fine but not with skype. it is as if it doesn't exist.
So, when I connect to someone I can hear them, see them, and they can see me, but I'm producing no sound output.
All the web hits I can find for nonfunctional microphone on the web are for Ubuntu. GAH!
running ldd against the skypeforlinux binary results in a huge list of shared libraries, including libasound (which is what the ubuntu messages say is missing).
Anybody got a clue?
Thanks in advance!
Fred
I'm not a skype user myself, so haven't tried it, but as there are many apps that are in FlatHub, and so directly accessible for CentOs 7 (that comes with flatpak since 7.4.1708)
Have you tried with that one ?
