Maybe I need new glasses, but I cannot find the Skype HowTo in the HowTo
index:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos

Is the HowTo still at the edit stage and not released for general
consumption?

Hi Steve,

Added to section 16 (Misc.)

Thanks for pointing it out :)

Thanks, Ned. I actually noticed it earlier when trying to get the URL
for the skype article and meant to add it to the HowTo page. Then I
had forgotten about it ...

No problem. The search feature finds it easy enough but it's there now :)

Apologies to Niki for taking this slightly OT from your issue - lets see
if someone has a solution for you :)

having just got off a 40 min long skype call with some guys on the other
side of the pond, one bit of feedback I can give you is that skype (
from their rpm ) on centos-5 does work !




Well, great to hear it works for you. Unfortunately I don't have the
slightest idea how to make the outgoing sound work here. Googling only
shows that the problem seems rather widespread. It-works-here doesn't
help me very much.


Cheers,

Niki

Niki: Welcome to the club! This is something I have tried to get
working, on my CentOS 5 (32 bit) desktop. William was very kind and he
volunteered to help, but I have other projects, with higher
priorities, ahead of this one now. Great to know that one of the
previous responders has it working AOK. My Sound Card is a Generic,
which uses the snd-cs46xx driver. It's a Cirrus Logic and Skype works
perfectly on M$ Windows, which is the main reason why this is still a
dual boot box. Like yours, my calls to the Skype test robot are all
one way. I can hear her, but she can't hear me. GL! Lanny

After a few more hours of googling, I've come to the following
conclusion: Skype seems to work for some folks, and not for others,
regardless of competence or used distribution.


I'd say this is quite annoying.

Don't use skype, but r u sure your firewall is not blocking outgoing sound?

Funny, I never gave that a thought. Any idea which port I would have to
open?
