However using the pulseaudio boost workaround has problems for me on my Dell M1330. It does boost the sound to an acceptable level it creates a crazy lag in Skype. If you switch hw then the sound becomes very faint again. So i for one am back to an ALSA only configuration. It works perfectly well without pulseaudio. This all worked in Hardy and the mike works well in ALSA so I really feel that this is pulse audio not grabbing the correct ALSA settings.

Any news from the developers?
