This bug also affect me as well: Acer Aspire ONE D255-2509. To temporarily fix this problem, I did the following.:
sudo apt-get install pavucontrol Go to 'input devices' and adjust the left channel to 100% and the right channel to 0%. To keep these settings from changing and the microphone working I did the following: Skype: Unchecked the option to automatically adjusts audio levels in settings menu. Google Talk: To turn off autoadjust by google talIk plugin: cd ~/.config/google-googletalkplugin # get to google chat's directory cp -p options options.bak # make a backup before changing stuff.. gedit options # edit the config file If you don't have file named options in this folder create one.. Add following line to this file.. audio-flags=1 Save and close the file. Close and open your browser and try making a audio call..it should work now..
