Hi. There are some help webpages for *buntu in Skype website. Have you read this one yet?
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10964/how-do-i-adjust-the-sound-settings-on-my-computer-and-in-skype-for-linux It recommends to install PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol) which is available in Lubuntu software center. I suppose you use Skype 4.3, because Skype 4.2 does not require Pulse Audio. Skype 4.3 works fine in my computer after installing pavucontrol and changing some settings while I was doing a test call. 2014-06-25 22:41 GMT+02:00 John Niendorf <j...@jfniendorf.org>: > Thanks Phill, > > I had already tried the webup8 suggestion before I mailed the list. > The noobslab suggestion didn't work either. > > Right now, I don't have my headphones with me so I am trying to use the > internal mike and speakers with Skype. > > I can see that Skype is running - the level indicator on the Pulse Audio > applet shows movement. > If I poke around I can get a hum to come out of the speakers, but nothing > else. > > Other sound programs (cmus and YouTube viewed in Firefox are audible. > This almost seems like there is some kind of problem due to the original > Alsa components interfering with the PulseAudio stuff I installed.
