Couldn't get Skype to work on Acer Aspire 4820T, Ubuntu 10.10.

Sound Recorder works, so Mic seems to be working in general. One weird
thing, though: in the Sound & Video Sound Input Menu, there is no way to
test the Microphone. There is something that looks like it could be an
sound level indicator, so I just assumed it is always in test mode. But
I never saw anything happening, so it is a rather confusing dialog (did
nothing happen because the Mic doesn't work? Or what?). Might be better
to have an explicit "Test" button.

It is also confusing if the Microphone works in Sound Recorder, but not
in the Mixer ("Audio Input" Menu), if that is the case - is the Sound
Recorder App using something else? How else to REALLY test the
Microphone setup?

Unfortunately this was on my mother's notebook, so I don't have access
to it right now. Providing more specific information is therefore
difficult.
