Comment 131 for bug 275998

Yay finally got a fix for my pulse problems in Intrepid.
The following was from a pulseaudioless M1330 system:
I added the following ppa to my sources:
~$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/janvitus/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/janvitus/ubuntu intrepid main

Update the system in synaptic and selected pulseaudio and paman.
This installs the pulseaudio 0.9.13 and ALSA 1.0.18.

Then also installed paman using synaptic and ran the following from my startup session (these may already be there):
start-pulseaudio-x11
padevchooser

I then changed the sound config (attachment) to be autodetect or pulse.

At the terminal:
~$ asoundconf set-pulseaudio

Then I set skype to use all pulse.
I restarted the computer.
If the pickup is still weak then you can amplify using the PulseAudio Applet (should be in the notification area). The exact details will vary with the soundcard type
left click -> manager -> devices -> alsa_input.pci_284b_sound_card_0_alsa_capture_0
I currently have it set at 170%.

Kudos to Gianvito Cavasoli for the ppa. https://launchpad.net/~janvitus/+archive
Only thing is I cannot install ubuntu desktop as libcanberra-gnome is removed.
