Hi, I encountered a strange audio problem. I and a peer have skype installed and use TDE. On my PC call audio notification (the ringing) is audiable after restart and login. On the peers PC the audio notification (the ringing) is not audiable after restart and login.
It turns out there skype starts from the session after pulseaudio and does not produce any sound, because it registers on ALSA something. Stop and start skype makes notifications work again.
Where and how is that order stored and can be setup?
thanks in advance

Check your default sound card. Check to make sure you have all relevant pulseaudio installed. Check to see if you can add a line to the skype .desktop to force it to use pulseaudio something like skype -pulseaudio? I can't find anything on it but there has to be something.
Sorry I can't be of much help. Haven't used skype in 15(?) years.

Thank you Kate. I think it is about how PA start or better when, but I also found out I have files in .pulse and in .config/pulse only one file cookie while the peer has all the files in .config/pulse but no directory .pulse.
I remember that this was changed between some previous versions, but I am not sure if this makes any difference.
the problem is most likely the late spawning of PA on the peer side (after skype is started by kicker)
