I went through the wiki on mod_skypiax and see there should be a script to make skype work without sound card in linux. Does anyone know where to obtain that script to make sound work "without sound card"? <br><br>
I am currently creating a /etc/asound.conf for skype to load the "fake" sound driver. I do hear sound, but it's not perfect, it's very choppy and it gives me error message when starting skype. The following is my asound.conf setting. Hopefully someone can shed some light :<br>
