I have been an Ubuntu user for more than an year now and feel very good having made the choice. Recently, I tried configuring Skype to chat with friends in US. After installing it on my Laptop, I tried the Skype test call. Boom! it failed ! Tried looking into some configurations but no use.
So, the immediate next step was to google for the solution. I hit upon
this website. Updated the ALSA drivers as mentioned and then
the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
Tried again the Skype test call and hurray!
Happily talking through Skype using Ubuntu.
UPDATE: On Ubuntu 8.04 just enabled the capture profile. Click volume button and Edit>Preferences>Capture. Push the capture option bar all the way to the top.
Cheers
