Skype microphone stops

Posted May 17th, 2007 by Nik

I had a problem with my skype in Kubuntu. It stopped recording, which means that the other person in the call didn't hear my voice.

After endless searching over the net, and installing and uninstalling Skype, I read somewhere in the skype forum that if you start skype as a superuser that the problem does not occur anymore. I tried it and until know, after 1 hour and 28 minutes of call the mic didn't stop.

So if you have this problem too try:

#sudo skype

in your console

If you don't know how to open the console then hit Alt + F2 and write inside the box `konsole` without the `

I hope it helps you and me too :)
