Any assistance appreciated... Thanks, John.
I use gnome and have a similiar problem. I found that skype will only look at pulse audio. The way I work around the problem is to go to the audio system and change the hardware associated with the microphone and speaker.
*/Well, after little (read NO) success trying to get things to work without pulse, I made sure that I had removed all I could to do with it, then did an install of 'almost' everything that even mentioned pulse, and, guess what??? - Now almost everything is working - even Skype, although the sound from Skype is rather dodgy - fairly "broken" and "clipped"... But at least things are now working/*. Thanks, John.
John, I had very similar symptoms, though my HW is different. Is your Audio chip recognized as Intel HD or AC'97? Mine is Intel HD on VT 1708s and I had all your symptoms in openSUSE 11.1/KDE3, 11.2 and Kubuntu 9.10/KDE4. (I do not have pulse audio.) To resolve it I had to install latest alsa driver (1.0.22 or later, I used "multimedia" repository of oS build service). Then I had to use alsa command line mixer (not KDE one) to experiment with levels of different channels. After everything except skype worked, while Skype mic input was "clipped", weak and distorted, I've read in Skype forum that many people had this problem with latest Skype 2.1.0.81 and someone mentioned that previous version 2.1.0.47 worked. I tried that one and it worked for me too (I also disabled Skype option to adjust mixer levels). But you mentioned that you tried a number of older versions, so not sure it is the same issue.
