Bad sound on log-in to Skype

Every time I log in to Skype I hear a bad sound on top of the log-in sound. (I hear both bad sound and the log-in sound.) This problem has existed since I made the full install, (Skype is in my post-install script). Please help this is very annoying.

I've got this very strange error message when I typed skype -version

Another strange message When I typed skype

Skype version: 2.2.0.35


Solution 1:

As it is sometimes there is a very easy solution to strange problems.

sudo apt-get remove skype && sudo apt-get install skype
