Skype making high pitched noises - Ubuntu 13.10

Question

I have a problem with Skype in Ubuntu 13.10. When I try to make a call or when any application sound plays, my laptop starts making high pitched noises that won't stop until I quit Skype.

Do you have any ideas?

user1039704's answer did not work for me but this command did:

sudo sed -i 's/^Exec=.*/Exec=env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype %U/' /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop

So, basically you got "Skype generating neverending scratchy white noise sound for notifications"

Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa and change from the code from:

load-module module-udev-detect

to

load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0

I struggled with high pitched sound in skype from middle of 2018.

load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0 or

PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 or

resample-method = speex-float-10

won't help anymore

Explicitly set in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

default-sample-rate = 48000
alternate-sample-rate = 44100

(default-sample-rate already set beforehand)

And voula! Skype usable again!
