Please, reopen this bug instead of marking it as fixed and only close it when Microsoft releases a patch for Skype.
As the above posts confirm, Daniel Marynicz is totally correct: "This Also affects Ubuntu Natty amd64." (2011-05-03 #69; see also #64) Beside the option of removing the shared.xml settings file (for those of us affected by the "Skype issue" on May 26), you might also try the fix proposed before. For me it actually worked (and Flash videos have still sound): redtux@nostrix:~$ sudo chmod ugo-r /usr/lib32/libpulse.so.0.12.3 redtux@nostrix:~$ sudo chmod ugo-r /usr/lib32/libpulse-simple.so.0.0.3 For anyone affected by this bug: Please, report when the bug has been fixed for you by an update (be it skype, ia32-libs or whatever). redtux@nostrix:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
