[Bug 288269] Re: [REGRESSION] skype audio input/output broken in intrepid (worked in hardy)

THE ONE STOP SOLUTION

Anyone will be able to use this command to get Skype working on Ubuntu
Intrepid or Linux Mint 6.


PART A 

Press ALT+F2 for a run command box and type in gnome-terminal and ENTER.
Or if you prefer the slower route then click Applications on your panel,
then Accessories, and last Terminal.

Then type: su root

Then type: ENTER

Then type: (enter your root password here, not your user password) If
your using another ubuntu version other then Linux Mint skip down to
"PART 3"


PART 2

  (If using Linux Mint and did not choose a root password from
installation, you may have to go to :

System > Administration > "User Groups"   to adjust this. Here click
unlock and enter your user password. Then select root and set your root
password." From then on you will have to use the root password to unlock
it.


PART 3

Once in the terminal and after entering your password proceed.

RECAP:
su root ENTER, 
(password) ENTER,
 

TYPE:
killall pulseaudio 
ENTER
aptitude remove pulseaudio 
ENTER
aptitude install esound 
ENTER
aptitude remove /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio
ENTER

Restart your system and Ubuntu should work perfectly for Skype.
PS: Do not fail afterwards to make sure Skype is working perfectly with Ubuntu. Your Skype settings me be off as well.

Please see this very easy and informative guide below. Ubuntu's
community has put together a real good article on this:
