I tried the PulseAudio workaround of using tsched=0 and realtime- priority=8, and that did not work for me using an up-to-date 10.10 install on an Acer Aspire One D255.
I was able to use the "PULSE_SERVER=127.0.0.1" skype workaround, and that worked well enough, and video stayed working (contrary to post #48). A call to Skype Echo / Sound Test Service worked fine. Oddly, when I used Sound Recorder it didn't work with the internal mic, but it did with an external mic, and after I unplugged it, the internal mic worked, but it was very quiet. Also, when I skyped to another machine, I got some automatic gain control going on (but it was disabled in Skype), so there was this throbbing effect. Bottom Line: best results (and only real success) with "PULSE_SERVER=127.0.0.1 skype".
