    Yes I got on my laptop with 9.04 and I clicked the little lite blue 
circle on the lower left edge of Skype and selected Options. There I 
selected Sound Devices. For Sound out on my laptop "pulse" worked fine. 
I just guessed for Sound in and it worked fine.


Now Skype works fine on Jaunty. There was no Jaunty problem, there was a 
setup Skype problem.
