1000HA/9.10 Ubuntu owner. Banged my head up against a wall and surfed gigs of bandwidth looking for the Skype fix. I was sceptical of your fix, then I realized, what’s the big deal? Pull down Pulse again if it doesn’t work!
Your fix was indeed the cure!
Way cool! Skype with Ubuntu finally!

Thanks for the help. I installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix and completely removed XP Home. Your directions made it a snap. I have a Dell Mini 10 and I was also having problems with my microphone not working so I removed pulse audio and it now works…sort of! I have to practically yell to be heard. Any ideas? Thanks!

I found an alternative solution here:

Now I have skype working on my packard bell dot with ubuntu netbook remix 9.04 without having to remove pulse or the netbook-remix package.

Bonjour.

J’ai bien supprimé pulseaudio. Mon micro ne fait cependant (semble t-il aucune acquisition.
Pourriez vous me dire quel contrôleur de son utilisez vous et quels sont vos réglages dans skype.
Merci

I used Jpierre’s fix (for which I was very grateful). It worked, the mic now works, the netbook interface is still there etc. However, checking in Synaptic the package “ubuntu-netbook-remix” has indeed been removed. It still seems to work without this but the package description says it is important for getting the right updates. So now I an not so sure that there isn’t an unfortunate side affect of this fix.

Same pulse sound troubles here on a eee 1000hd, tried “sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio” and got a message it would remove 2 packages freeing 1880kB, confirmed the action. the sound works great now (after rebooting), I suspect the message “pulseaudio ubuntu-netbook-remix” is just 1 word and not “pulseaudio” and “ubuntu-netbook-remix”

Hmmm… I looked at doing this on my Acer Aspire One as I am also having skype audio problems. “sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio” does indeed come back and say it is going to remove not only the pulseaudio package, but also the ubuntu-netbook-remix package, freeing 1880kB of disk space. I aborted the operation rather than risk it. JPierre, did you see the same message?
