InformatiQ

Fedora 9 is cool, it's my distro of choice, but sinse i had it installed i couldn't make skype calls.

It's
been 3 weeks now, but i only had time today to do it. Followed a lot of
fixes from several forums, but i had a totally different thing.

From the above log I can see that for some unknown reason skype is
attempting to use bluetooth before anything else although i have not
set BT in the sound options (see screenshot)

If I stop the bluetooth daemon it works. It even nowworks while banshee is playing.

Weired ! isn't it? Anyway that is how i got it to work as needed
