Hm, thanks for trying @mobinmob. I have a hard time reproducing this issue on a fresh VM.

Somehow I got one "general protection fault", similar to this, where the call failed with a loading animation and then dumped me out to the login screen. Now calls to the VM seem to work fine lol. No idea why.

```

Here's roughly what I tried...

1. Install void base on a new VM (I used libvirt / virt-manager)
2. Boot VM and login as root
3. Install some software

```sh
xbps-install -Suy
xbps-install -Suy xorg i3 i3status dmenu alacritty void-repo-nonfree void-socklog
xbps-install -S
xbps-install skype

ln -s /etc/sv/socklog-unix /var/services/
ln -s /etc/sv/nanoklogd /var/services/
```

4. Logout and log-in as a non-root user
5. Set-up X11

```sh
echo "i3" > ~/.xinitrc
startx
```

6. Launch skype + login
7. Initiate a voice call from another account + device

I did futz around with `xbps-reconfigure` and installing intel microcode, as well as dbus... perhaps related, but I feel kinda stumped now.
