Pulseaudio bug with skype

[bashcommando]

I go on skype with my friends and then everything either starts buzzing or when my friends talk it sounds like they are a robot/what we call "bubble voice". Help?

I avoid pulseaudio like the plague (or Metro UI). When I had to do skype work, I got rid of pulse, and stuck strictly with ALSA - they don't always play nice together.

 

[bashcommando]

I stopped pulseaudio and my speakers stopped working entirely. When I tried relaunching, it gave me a error. I'll try and use just Pulseaudio.

Skype does not fully support Pulse. And the latest skype for linux has NO alsa support. I think this is a mic problem, caused by latency. This may help:

sudo sed -i 's/^Exec=.*/Exec=env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype %U/' /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop
