No audio from Skype 39 weeks 17 hours ago

Hi,

I've had my Nexus 7 for a few weeks, and think overall it is very good, but I'm experiencing a problem with skype.

I just don't get any sound from it. There is no notification sound (not sure if this is normal), or sign on sound (stuff which I get on my CM7.1 equipped mobile). More annoyingly there is no audio on voice chat either.

No sound in Skype 3 years 24 weeks ago

I am running Skype installed via yum: skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586 on F11 x86_64 My sound is working perfectly under VLC etc. but I cannot get anything out of Skype. Test calls produce deafening silence.

I am really unclear on how the sound stuff works.

Help please!

Thanks,

Michael
