Re: [trinity-users] Skype no sound (was: xine finds no audio drivers)

Skype needs 32-bit audio packages, which may need separate installation if you're running a 64-bit system. Skype 4.3.0.37 does require either pulseaudio or the apulse emulator ( https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse ). It doesn't require systemd (since it's installable onto a Gentoo OpenRC-based system), but it may want to put some files into /etc/dbus-1/system.d . The full dependency list includes QT4 and some X11 libraries. Alternatives to Skype for video chat on a desktop PC? Ugh. Google Hangouts, if it works, or the WebRTC support that's gradually making its way into some browsers. Anyone got any better ideas? E. Liddell
