Lubuntu 14.04 Humming sound in Skype

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi,

have a read of
http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/get-sound-working-in-skype-with-ubuntu.html

However, I've just installed skype using as set of instructions based
around
http://www.noobslab.com/2014/01/skype-released-new-version-install-in.html
(The Qt bit is important).

Regards,

Phill.
