    Fixed easy here...

    Go into the Pulse Audio volume control, select the "input device" (for me, Microphone one), unbind both Left & right controls and put the RIGHT control to 0% and the LEFT control to 100%.

    This is for an Acer Aspire One D250.

    Hope that helps some.

    It doesn't seem to matter which way you go with the 0% and 100% but it's essential that left and right are at opposites. Not sure why this is the case but it works great here - as soon as you make the change you can see the 'VU' meter suddenly pick up an work

    This sound problems seem to be common. I cannot use skype with ubuntu 9.10 on my DELL desktop. I use an externel microsoft webcam.
    The speakers funtion perfectly but I cannot get the mic to work. The only option available for sound input in SKYPE is pulseaudio. Someone on this thread suggested using skype v2.0, but the link given in this thread is not working any longer. There must be many people like me out there and without skype ,linux is not an option for me .

    apt-get install pavucontrol (for Volume control)

    then go to

    application > Sound-Video > pulseAudio Volume Control

    then click on "input Devices" >"Port"

    then select Microphone2

    that's All

    I think you should install the new version SKYPE, and check it again, good luck to you.

    Acer aspire one A0A150-ab
    Very low mic on skype 2.1.0.81

    I fixed this by going to the terminal

    sudo apt-get install sudo apt-get install pavucontrol

    I then went to applications,sound & video,pulse audio volume control.

    I turned down input front left to 0% and front right to 100%

    This worked for me.
