I haven't been following the conversation too closely, so please
forgive me if this has already been tried and/or dismissed.

I had the same problem on my wife's PC and spent 2-3 hours this
afternoon trying to resolve it.  The following link finally worked for
me:
http://borninbronx.wordpress.com/2012/07/19/skype-4-and-pulseaudio-microphone-not-working-speaker-output-is-sent-back-instead/
 .

Hope this helps.

Now, it Works!!!

Actually, I have done this before.
I don't know why it worked now, did not before

Thank you!

funny thing is that I had tried this numerous before time and did not work.

I don't like the fact that I have to do trick like this to make it work, 
but for now it will be usable.

You might try removing or moving '~/.Skype/' out of the way in the
non-functioning account and starting afresh.





No luck


How about this:  After moving your own ~/.Skype/ somewhere temporarily,
copy your wife's ~/.Skype/ to your machine.


I should have  said too that you want to stop skype completely before 
doing the above, i.e., ensure that 'ps -ef|grep -i skype' shows 
nothing before copying her config to your machine.  After it's in 
place, then restart skype.



No.
Did not work...
So, it's not Skype side setting...

Ok.
It doesn't matter which account to log in first.
Skype on my account doesn't recognize microphone for some reason. Other

Skype also use Pulse audio and from ver. 4.3, skype only works with

​Is it a ​mic only issue? If playback works my guess is that your
microphone is being locked​ by another app (eg. google chat)

​Yes, I am currently using 4.2 with alsa-loopback device.​

Thank you for that URL.

I was not previously aware of the web page existence.

Neither was I aware of Debian packages being available for Skype,
after the ones for Skype v2.2 (Beta), which is what I have on Debian
6.

I have also Linphone and Ekiga installed on Debian 6, but Skype 2.2,
is the only videocalling software that I could get working.

And, with my Skype 2.2, I, on my Debian 6 installation, have been able
to successfully communicate with other people running Skype on both MS
Windows and Linux.

 Thank you for that URL.
 
 I was not previously aware of the web page existence.
 
 Neither was I aware of Debian packages being available for Skype,
 after the ones for Skype v2.2 (Beta), which is what I have on Debian
 6.

Is there a driver needed for the microphone?  Is said driver missing?

No.
Microphone is working just fine.
Sound recorder works with this microphone and also on audio panel, I can 
confirm the microphone is working.
AND! for some reason skype works perfectly on my wife's debian user

I now have Skype ver. 4.3 installed and the support for ALSA has been 
dropped.


Anyway, funny thing is that skype works just fine with microphone if i 
use from my wife's debian user account. I believe audio settings and 
skype settings are identical though

Yes, I did.

The only option I can see is pulse audio.
From there, I can go to the pulse audio volume control.
seems like it works there but funny thing is sometimes it's not working
