[ubuntu-uk] Sound recording

[Robin Hall]

I have a dual boot system on my computer; Windows XP and Ubuntu Feisty Fawn.

In Windows while using Skype I have no problem with my microphone but in 
Ubuntu I receive the request from the lady in Skype when she invites me 
to record a message  while making a test call, but I get no  sound  
back.  The same with Voice Recorder.

I have summoned up alsamixer and set every slider at maximum volume and 
unmuted everything in site but to no avail.

I would be most grateful to anybody who can suggest a solution to this 
problem.

Regards
