Comment 11 for bug 288269

Brandon, thanks so much for posting these steps. My skype is now working again. This is great news!

For _5 months_ I've had people call me on Skype without being able to answer the call. Instead I had to press the HANG UP button and then send a text based chat message explaining that my microphone didn't work because I "upgraded" by Ubuntu. Due to all this bad publicity for Ubuntu, the people I usually talk to on Skype won't convert their Windows installs to Ubuntu any time soon, that's for sure :-(
