I am trying to get Skype working on my Ubuntu machine (it works on the same machine if i run windows, with the same exact hardware). I can make calls just fine, but the microphone doesn't work with alsa. The skype download for oss worked a bit but the sound was very low, and it stopped working after a while (no idea why).
I tried the sound recorder application in ubuntu, but the mic didn't work there either.
I am quite lost, do anybody know what to do?
Edit: The mixer settings where correct, but now I just get "Problem with audio playback (this happens whether or not I use the oss or alsa version, whereas the oss version used to work). The sound does work from e.g. mplayer
