Skype linux no device found

Skype не видит устройств

Установил Skype, но он не производит звуки. В его настройках указано Virtual Divice и все. Как его заставить работать?

Alsa, pluseaudio есть, звук работает

pavucontrol что говорит? В нём можно выбрать, каким устройством какое приложение пользуется.

Вряд ли это решение, но я откатил на предыдущую версию, которая работает через альсу.

Fatal Error: Unable to connect to PulseAudio: OK

Fatal Error: Unable to connect to PulseAudio: OK

Если что, скайп теперь работает только через пульсу. И там у него флаг pulseaudio нужно включить. Проверь, включен ли он у тебя в скайпе.

А пульса настроена?

Флаг есть. Пульса не настроена, никогда не ее настраивал, буду разбираться

Там нужен consolekit и dbus и убрать пользователей из группы аудио. По идеи после того как запустишь эти сервисы все должно само заработать.

Пульса в этом плане очень продвинута. К примеру когда пытаешься загрузить модуль через pacmd load-module, то при ошибке просто пишут. Module load failed.

В настройках выбирал? По умолчанию какое звуковое устройство?

В плане звука помогло, спасибо. Еще увеличил буфер в ядре до 2048 как пишут в этом руководстве http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PulseAudio

Теперь проблема с микрофоном, пульса не находит записывающих устройств

32-разрядный пульс установлен?

Все решилось, в pavucontrol выбрал профиль Analog Stereo Duplex. Всем спасибо!

Skype Linux Mint: no device found when running as user

Skype Linux Mint: no device found when running as user

Post by carlitador » Fri Oct 04, 2019 8:37 am

I have a problem with Skype on my PC with Linux Mint 19. When I run Skype, it doesn’t recognize any of my devices anymore whereas it was working perfectly before. I tried to launch Skype as root typing: sudo skypeforlinux and then Skype sees all my devices.. This makes me believe that there is a permission problem on my devices but I have no idea how to fix it. Any idea?

Thank you very much
Cheers

Hi carlitador, and welcome to the forum.

It sounds to me like either a permissions issue, or your running pulseaudio as the user root.

Run sudo chown -Rc $USER:$USER $HOME in the terminal. The list of files that fly by are root owned files in your home directory, that have no business being root owned. Make sure before you run that command that you’re not in a window with elevated privileges. You should see a $ before the cursor, not a #.

After that, a reboot may be necessary to make sure everything fires up correctly.

I don’t use skype myself, so I don’t know how much more use I can be.

You can see if cat

/.config/skypeforlinux/logs/skype-startup.log offers a hint as to why it doesn’t see the devices.

There’s some potentially useful info in this thread. The downgrading idea might be appropriate for you.

I tried different versions of skype already. I am using the lowest now as its the only one I can run as root to be able to use devices. But in the past I was using a more recent version so I really dont know what happened.

Thank you again

I copied the first line of that output and pasted it into a search engine. The first hit was exactly like your issue, but a mod sent a private message to the user so now idea if/how it may have been solved.

The other hits didn’t seem to apply to your situation.

At this point, unless another user comes along with better ideas, I’d suggest Timeshifting back to when Skype was working, if you’ve got Timeshift set up. If you’re able to do that and it works, I’d suggest running all updates one at a time afterwards and testing Skype after each update. I’d start with the kernel. Then at least you’d know which update broke Skype and for now at least could put that update on hold.

Sorry I can’t think of anything else to try.

/.config/skypeforlinux directory while the program is not running, then fire it up and see if things have improved.

Nice finds, thx-1138!

You’ll most likely need to run sudo chown -Rc $USER:$USER $HOME again as running skype as root would’ve probably changed the permissions again.

After that, I’m thinking the chances are good the newest skype will work after running sudo chmod 4755 /usr/share/skypeforlinux/chrome-sandbox

Hi MrEen,
I ran the first command again and it is not working.
For the second one, I don’t have any file called «chrome-sandbox» in sudo chmod 4755 /usr/share/skypeforlinux/. I think the guy who ran this command in Manjaro uses Skype in Chrome which I don’t. I have the desktop app
Their problem looks different because they cannot even start the app. I am able to use Skype BUT no devices are recognized.

Can’t really offer any other suggestion myself. i’d try chmod-ing the chrome-sandbox in 8.53.0.85,
maybe also try the flatpak version as an alternative (which also appears to have similar issues. ),
and if that didn’t do it, return back to older 8.50.0.38.
Then try out newer versions every now & then,
with the hope it does get fixed (and / or with the above additional workaround as well in mind).

Ie. i don’t really think it’s an issue with your system per se, i simply think that Microsoft has messed it up for some people
(that is, judging by reading similar ioctl failed threads over at Microsoft’s Skype forums as well).

There is still the other «fix» from those links: sudo sh -c ‘echo «kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1» > /etc/sysctl.d/00-local-userns.conf’

WARNING : I do not understand that command, so I have no idea on the implications involved. If it were me, I’d run that command to see if it works, then delete the file if I didn’t feel safe using it, to at least confirm that solves the issue.

. it’s already enabled in current Ubuntu kernels, at least in 5.x ones. sudo sysctl -a | grep userns_clone
My ‘hope’ was, as Mr.Een already said above, that maybe, *just maybe*,
chmoding 4755 the chrome-sandbox would make the trick (which is also not really the greatest idea security-wise.
at least when it comes to proprietary software — but it’s at least somewhat better than running the whole of Skype with root privs).

It’s not the first time that people have complained that without sudo they either couldn’t start it at all,
or they couldn’t. log-in, or this or that etc etc. ie. don’t be surprised, it’s quite a bit of a ‘broken’ software under Linux.

Microphone is not working in Skype

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and Skype.

My mic is not working. I have 1 mic attached to the system and another one in my headphone (Beats by Dr. Dre).

I followed these steps:

Turn PulseAudio autospawn off, normally: $ echo «autospawn = no» >

But this did not help me and it disabled my sound after my system restarted. I then tried

It fixed my system sound but still no sound on Skype microphone.

After that, I tried this command

I’ve also upgraded alsa sound drivers by running:

however on the last command:

When I type pulseaudio in terminal it shows me

After all this, my sound system started behaving abnormally. Internal Speakers and headphone or 5.1 speakers both works at same time but still the microphone is not working. I even hear a noise when I don’t play anything. It’s freaking me out and my microphone problem is after 12.04 . Can I use my headphone microphone? I am having beats headphones.

Details of my system alsamixer

Even Now My system sound OUTPUT connector option is gone here is the screen shot

My solution

I think that the problem lies within a non-intuitive way of adjusting the recording settings.

Within skype, do the following:

• Open options dialog.
• Go to Sound Devices.
• Click on ‘Open PulseAudio Volume Control’.

Here comes the non-intuitive part.

Under the ‘Recording’ tab.

If no program is recording anything (being in idle mode) it shows nothing at all. One might think that there is nothing to this tab of interest, but one would be mistaken. Keep this tab open and visible. Make sure the ‘Show’ option at the bottom is set to either ‘All Streams’ or ‘Applications’.

Start a test call from the options dialog.

The pulseaudio dialog will now show what program is recording sound from where.

Skype: Input from.

To the right of this text, select your input device and it should finally work.

It took me a while to figure this one out.

Changing Device Input values under gstreamer-properties fixed it for me.

I have head a similar problem on a realtek HD audio system (eeePC R101). After upgrading from Ubuntu (Xubuntu) 10.04 to 12.04, the microphone turned out to be unusable, the sound it recorded was at such a low volume that it could not be used. Using skype was not possible. After looking through a couple of forum entries I summarized people had found pulseaudio not working on this type of sound card. In contrast to older skype versions that required pulseaudio, the current skype (4.1) also uses ALSA. This, however, requires pulseaudio to be uninstalled. If you don’t really need pulseaudio for other reasons, give this a try:

Then reboot the system and try using skype. Make sure to turn off «allow skype to adjust mixer levels» in the audio settings and make sure in Alsamiser or XFCE4-mixer that the microphone is turned on.

Hopefully someone finds out why pulseaudio capture does not work on Realtek HD anymore.
