I've had a similar problem with the latest Skype beta and I've heard others have as well. I would suggest un-installing it and trying the stable version, which is available through the Mediabuntu repo.<br><br>Jesse<br>

<div style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans'; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;">I'm running Kubuntu 9.04 on a brand new i7-920 with an nVidia graphics card and Intel, built-in sound. It's a brand new install (yesterday).<br>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"><br></p>PulseAudio - 0.9.15<br>
Skype - 2.1.0.47<br>

<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"><br></p>I just can't get the audio to work. I've followed so many suggestions I can't remember what the original setting was. Skype offers only PulseAudio as devices in this new version. Video works, notifications work, and sound in/out does not. If I try a test call I hear the connecting notification sound, then it runs for about 35 seconds and Skype aborts. If run in a terminal I get:<br>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"><br></p>E: pstream-util.c: Assertion 'p' failed at pulsecore/pstream-util.c:36, function pa_pstream_send_tagstruct_with_creds(). Aborting.<br>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"><br></p>On my old computer (still Kubuntu 9.04 but an older version of Skype and no PulseAudio) it worked great. Amarok and various video formats work well.<br>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"><br></p>Any suggestions? - I've tried about 10 or 15 different suggestions from various forums.<br><font color="#888888">-- <br><br>
