I'm getting the same thing with Kubuntu 10.04 i386, I've even tried using the 
line-in input and that sounds bad through Skype, but sounds fine with 
Audacity. I think it has something to do with the audio chipset used as it 
works fine with UNR 10.04 on my Toshiba netbook.

I would love to solve this too.
