Ullix, I had the exact same problems on my acer aspire one 110L netbook with skype 2.1.0.81 beta running on Ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix. I tried installing the latest pulseaudio (0.9.22) from the ppa but that didn't work.
However, following steps 1 to 6 described in the first part of message number 18 on this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313137&page=2 the microphone is working when I make a test call. I haven't tried the second solution mentioned in the same message 18 since installing PulseAudio Volume Control, selecting input devices then minimise the front left slider and maximise the front right slider is working. -- [ubuntu karmic] no microphone in skype https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
