I've tried many times to use skype with my Knoppix. I have both Knoppix 3.6 and Knoppix3.3/Debian testing. Skype runs perfect from the tar.gz package (QT3.2 dynamic), I can hear the others, but they cannot hear me :(
I've read the skype FAQ and many threads in the skype forum too, but still no luck with the microphone :(
For now I prefer not to install ALSA. I use the auto settings in KDE, or OSS.
When I run skype from a console, one of the message says:
Sound: no device found
or alike. But I can hear the others and there is no problem with the sound when playing mp3 or videos too...
My sound cards are:
1. laptop - Ali54xxx built in.
2. desktop - 2 cards - AC97 and C-Media8738 PCI.
(I use the sound from C-Media, but my microphone is connected to the AC97; which shouldn't be a problem I think.)
If anyone has successfully run skype with Knoppix, I'll be gratefull of a piece of info ;)
P.S.
Thanks CrashAgain for the sound help :)
