Hey guys,
I'm trying to configure Skype on my end. In days past it used to just be Options -> Sound Devices and everything would point to a "default device" option (not exactly sure) but it would be easy enough that I'd switch my mics and headset around through clicking the Volume icon and selecting Sound Settings. Whatever was selected on Output and Input would correspond to Skype.
After spending some time with Windows 8 and making a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04, I get... this.

I start cycling through what may or may not work, then Skype crashes itself and any progress that could have been made is lost. BTW, this is Skype 4.2.0.11 downloaded directly from the Skype website (seems like I can't get a repository version of Skype).
Anyone have any ideas? I have a feeling PulseAudio may have something to do with this but I'm not sure.
