Bug Description
When I upgraded from hardy intrepid my Skype stopped working.
I also lost the ability to record sound in gnome-sound-
If I follow these steps I can talk to people on Skype again and record sound in g-s-r:
$ killall pulseaudio
$ sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio
$ aptitude install esound
$ remove /etc/X11/
---
Just now I booted the Feb 3rd 2009 jaunty live CD on this box and it's the same as intrepid. Can't record in g-s-r and if I install Skype, then Skype fails to even playback sound even though totem can play sound.
I'm attaching a copy of alsa-info.txt which I captured using the jaunty live CD before installing Skype or messing with any settings.
With a default isntall of Ubuntu from intrepid and later, when you run skype, you should go to the audio preferences for skype and set your output to pulse, and set the input device to an input of your sound card, NOT default.
As for not recording in GNOME sound recorder, have you double checked the recording settings in System -> Preferences -> Sound to make sure its set to PulseAudio for recording?
