Troubleshooting

No sound in aMSN

The snack library is not available in Arch default repository, it is however available in the AUR [1].

Audio or audio+video conferencing isn't working

Audio calls and audio+video calls aren't working anymore due to a change of protocol from Microsoft, as can be seen here [2].

This only concerns “Audio call” or “Audio+Video Call” which goes in both directions as confirmed here [3]
