[Bug 27717] New: Skype 5.3: Not detecting any sound.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27717

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: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

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.

Created an attachment (id=35821)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=35821)
Terminal output from starting Skype and automatically logging in.

This is the log from running env WINEPREFIX="/home/karl/.wine" wine
C:\Program\ Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe &> terminal_output.txt and will
hopefully give some pointers as to why Skype does not detect any sound sources
or emitters.

I would be more than happy to run any tests, or run it again with additional
WINEDEBUG environment variables if that is needed.

Tried this again with current git wine-1.3.26-168-g6ee95c7, and I get the the
same results. Anything I can do to try and get Skype to detect some speakers
and microphones? When I go into winecfg and Audio and Test Sound, I hear the
sound.

A much simpler way to test this (guessing it is the same bug) is to download
Skype 5.2.60.113 from
http://www.oldapps.com/skype.php?app=0750fc9269ec32f685338e6841160c24 as that
one installs.

After it is installed (you get some segfaults, and firefox opens with the home
page of the skype client etc.) you go to Tools -> Options -> Audio Settings,
and you only see "None" as the device for Speakers and Microphone.

Hi Karl,

Is this still a problem with Wine 1.4 or later? I wasn't able to get the Skype
version you linked to work very well, it kept crashing before I could log in.
If it is, can you include a log with the debug channels from
http://wiki.winehq.org/Sound?

Karl M and Igor Demyanov,

Can you please say the exact wine version, Skype download URL and distro you
are using, and how *exactly* you made it run under Wine (preferably starting
with a new fresh clean WINEPREFIX)?

Which means I will keep rejecting such results in AppDB since you are using a
hacked Skype version.

Wine's bugzilla and AppDB are only for original applications if not
specifically stated otherwise (e.g. in case of DRM protected games which need
their copy protection to be disabled to be run successfully under Wine).

I understand.
Just trying to simplify the task of launching the original application.
Maybe this will help solve the problems in the future.
