[SOLVED] Skype, Bluetooth / sound , Crash! Starts then shuts down

Ok so i was trying to get my luetooth to work CORRECTLY on skype and ended up crashing it.

Now what happened was i would try to start skype and it would get to sign in screen and shut down.

Well after NO luck with google and countless forums i finally figured it out and wanted to share it with you.

What i had found out that my sound settings were at NULL so this would crash skype everytime it would open.
So located in ~/.Skype/{user}/config.xml
Near bottom you will see

 <CaptureDevice>{your device}</CaptureDevice>
    <RingDevice>{your device}</RingDevice>
    <SoundDevice>{your device}</SoundDevice>

If the section where i have {your device} is NULL or null change it to default then save and re-open skype, this should fix the issue.

Hope this helps some others
