I just installed pulseaudio-alsa. And voilà, I can finally hear my Skype Call via my USB Headset and not via my laptop speakers. Why the heck is pulseaudio-alsa not a dependency of this package? It really should be!
Anyhow, thanks to hgabreu for providing that hint.
Repositories like those should imho be auto-updated, use some form of script to check for latest version and autocommit and push.
Is there a place where Skype indicates which builds at https://repo.skype.com/deb/pool/main/s/skypeforlinux/ are stable? I notice my client (this version) tells me there is an update available, but the latest information I've been able to find is at https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34778/release-notes-for-skype-for-desktop-mac-and-linux .
@bulletmart, thanks a lot. The latest updates are working 100% on my machine. Thanks a lot for your time & energy maintaining this - much appreciated! More power to you, Ruziel.
@ruziel, updated now.
Hi there. I'm getting a notice on Skype saying that an update is available. Do we have any visibility on when that is expected to hit the AUR? Thanks & more power to you meantime, Ruziel.
@bulletmark. hi & yeah, unfortunately neither works for me. The odd call is fine but most of the time there are audio problems & I can't hear or can't be heard - all my settings in PulseAudio seem to be fine. It's weird. Skype for Web is okay but the dial pad doesn't work for extensions & selecting options. Thanks & go well, R.
@ruziel, have you tried skypeforlinux-preview-bin?

To get automatic login, install a package that provides
org.freedesktop.secrets, e.g.gnome-keyring.To get a systray icon, install
libappindicator-gtk3. On GNOME, then install the appindicator extension.
