This might be a handy workaround for Skype until the pulseaudio bug is completely fixed:
Create executable /usr/bin/skype-wrapper with the following content: PULSE_SERVER=127.0.0.1 /usr/bin/skype & And now change the desktop file so that the new script will be called when using the menu: sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop and change Exec=skype to Exec=skype-wrapper When you open Skype, go to Options > Sound Devices, and select: - Microphone: HDA Intel PCH, ALC286 Analog Default Audio Device (sysdefault:CARD=PCH) - Speakers: HDA Intel PCH, ALC286 Analog Front speakers (front:CARD=PCH.DEV=0) - Ringing: HDA Intel PCH, ALC286 Analog Front speakers (front:CARD=PCH.DEV=0) Apply & Close or make a test call, and you'll notice everything (including the mic) works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1228689 Title: sony vaio pro 13 internal microphone not working Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: A number of people are reporting the same issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2172364 I have lived with it for a couple of months silently, but now audio recording is becoming a necessity.
