Summary: Skype 5.3: Not detecting any sound. Product: Wine Version: 1.3.23 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: karlmk@hotmail.com
When installing Skype as described in my appdb entry (download .exe, run, find .msi install that) Skype does not detect any soundcard or sound resources. The only entry in Skype's Audio settings are "default" but nothing comes out or goes in.
I should mention that during the program launch, it experiences one crash (crash report box) and one access violation (small access violation box). I'll try and find/create bugs for those cases as well.
Apart from Skype not detecting any sound resources (and trying to display the default start screen in Firefox) it works more or less flawless, I'd say 90%, and if we can get this bug fixed, then it would be really damn close to 100% functionality.
Yes, I know that there is a Linux client, but this is nothing short of a shame when it comes to features.
Well, there are a LOT of messages that pops up in console when this application is launched, I'll give you a way to reproduce this bug instead of attaching a lot of useless logs. Of course if you need anything from me with regards to zero in on this bug I'm more than happy to accommodate.
1. Download from skype.com the windows client. 2. Start the installer, and when it is done with the downloading it freezes/halts. 3. Kill it/Exit it. 4. Find Skype.msi in .wine/drive_c/users/Public/Application\ Data/Skype/{D6F879CC-59D6-4D4B-AE9B-D761E48D25ED}/ and run it with "msiexec /i Skype.msi" 5. Log in, check sound preferences, only "default" is displayed.
