I have a new 9.04 amd64 install kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
Running the static Skype kype_static-2.1.0.47
I see this has been a problem since Jan 09 tracing back many internet posts......
Seems neither Ubuntu nor Skype is addressing the issue ..or at least has not fixed it in 11 months..Yikes.
I have a plugin camera
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:09c1 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks
and the only way I could get this to work is with an assignment like such to run skype
PULSE_SERVER=192.167.4.105 /home/sqlpython/skype/skype
.........
 The only problem would be is that with my roving laptop I would have to continually modify the ip address depending on WiFi hookup or Cat etho direct connect...
So I wrote a Bash to identify the IPaddress and run the Skype command based on the existing connection and inserting correct IPaddress as a variable..........
 Here is the Script but it does Not fix the Fact the I can not Play back any sound While Skype is connected VOIP to any other Person....
Please Fix it!!!!!
  This does not happen in my 8.04 install I get Sound Play Back with 8.04 while Skype Connected.

#!/bin/bash

ifconfig wlan0 | grep "inet addr" | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d" " -f1 $1
ifconfig eth0 | grep "inet addr" | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d" " -f1 $2
if [ $1 -gt $2 ]
  then
echo $1
PULSE_SERVER=$1 /home/sqlpython/skype/skype
fi
if [ $2 -gt $1 ]
  then
echo $2
PULSE_SERVER=$2 /home/sqlpython/skype/skype
