| Sep 15, 2014 at 14:51 | comment | added | Art Gertner | I tried to follow solution on Gentoo forum. Does not seem to be possible on Mint. | |
| Sep 15, 2014 at 14:41 | comment | added | EdgeCaseBerg | I run Mint 13 maya as well, does anyone have a comprehensive guide to setting up PA and restricting it to ONLY be used by skype? and to not allow PA to do anything else? It's screwed with my system before and I really don't want to install it, but if I do I want to limit it. I have a hard time following the gentoo forum post. | |

| Sep 12, 2014 at 1:12 | comment | added | 0xDAFACADE | The best solution I can imagine for your situation is to set up ALSA with dmix, such that Pulseaudio can connect to it without locking the soundcard. You'd then just have a pcm.!default entry in your ~/.asoundrc pointing to dmix, and rules for skype pointing to the pulse device. I honestly wished I understood it enough to explain to you; it seems to be a pretty common issue for people to have little understanding of ALSA configuration, though. This and this may help as reference. | |
| Sep 11, 2014 at 15:23 | comment | added | harrymc | Have fun with it and maybe with the other suggestions. | |
| Sep 11, 2014 at 15:14 | comment | added | Art Gertner | @harrymc, you keep surprising me. I will quote my own comment again: "this looks like what I am looking for. I will try to test this solution over the weekend and I will update my post with results!". So I believe it might be a good solution. I just need to wait until I have enough time to test it on my linux machine at home | |
| Sep 11, 2014 at 14:55 | comment | added | harrymc | I see it was already suggested and probably didn't work, so some more details on why it did (or not) work would be useful. Just to note that some people say that PulseAudio is much less glitchy if one turns timer-based scheduling off by adding tsched=0 in /etc/pulse/default.pa. As another note, I believe the Windows version of Skype works on Wine which uses alsa, so may be a workaround. | |

| Sep 11, 2014 at 14:38 | comment | added | harrymc | What's your take on this thread, showing how to make skype work with alsa, with pulseaudio used only for skype but not for the rest of your system. | |
| Sep 11, 2014 at 14:30 | comment | added | Art Gertner | @harrymc, Mint 13 maya | |
| Sep 11, 2014 at 14:29 | comment | added | harrymc | Which Linux distribution ? | |
| Sep 11, 2014 at 13:46 | comment | added | Art Gertner | Hi, @harrymc, did you read the post? )) I have mentioned that MS have forced out older version of skype. I have provided 3 links to relevant articles. With 4.2.0.11 you cannot login any more. | |
| Sep 11, 2014 at 13:43 | comment | added | harrymc | Why can't you stay with Skype 4.2.0.11, and which Linux distribution are you on? | |
| Sep 11, 2014 at 12:12 | comment | added | Art Gertner | @Fegnoid, thanks, this looks like what I am looking for. I will try to test this solution over the weekend and I will update my post with results! | |
| Sep 11, 2014 at 11:49 | comment | added | Fegnoid | have a look at this thread forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7597786.html | |

| Sep 10, 2014 at 22:44 | comment | added | Art Gertner | Hm... It is not reasonable for me. However it is a workaround and it may be useful for someone else having the same problem. | |
| Sep 10, 2014 at 22:25 | comment | added | Hastur | I was thinking to set up a virtual machine only for this reasons. Do you think is a reasonable workaround? | |
