Well sure, Skype as of v4.3 requires pulseaudio. |

That's for your onboard sound, what about kernel drivers for the USB device? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Also, forcing it to use ALSA will definitely not work with Skype as it |
| 35 |
requires pulseaudio, as you've found out. You have to set up pulseaudio |
| 36 |
to do all your audio processing or nothing will work. |

I don't use Skype, but google even shows an entry on the gentoo wiki |
| 39 |
detailing all these issues: |

| 42 |

It even was a workaround for non-pulseaudio users. |

Google tells me Skype problems are pretty common, there are problems and |
| 46 |
solutions on the web already. |
