Comment 7 for bug 514834

I was also affected by this problem so after hearing about OSS4 working for some people, I used this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound to install it so that I could use skype(skype-static-oss_2.0.0.68+repack-0medibuntu3_i386) This worked and I loved it however after upgrading to ubuntu 10.04 Sound stopped working but instead of reinstalling OSS4, I decided install linux mint on a seperate partition, use OSS4 on there, and run skype there. Today, I was finally able to complete my move back to ALSA on my ubuntu 10.04 using the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5539687&postcount=331
 and I installed ALSA 1.0.23 on my system. I rebooted and sound was working properly. I installed the latest version of skype from the repo and just for the heck of it made a test call and to my surprise, my mic worked!! I opened sound recorder and tested the sound again using the internal mike by the camera and also a plug in mic and they both worked!
