If you’ve installed Skype for Linux but your audio isn’t working, the problem may be that PulseAudio isn’t configured correctly. This can be an issue when using multiple audio sources, e.g. plugging in an external USB device like a webcam or headset. An obvious symptiom is when you click the the Skype “Make a test sound” button and hear sound on your speakers, but not through the device. Correcting audio involves making a Skype test call Installation Now that Skype has stopped supporting the ALSA sound system, the best way to get sound working is to use the Pulse Audio volume control (pavucontrol).

I’ve been thinking of moving my family’s genealogy website from MyHeritage. The site has a large subscriber base, and lets you build a family tree collaboratively while sharing photos.

You can’t download a larger album all at once; you have to download its photos individually.
