I have the same setup as you. Sound is not working at all for me. Neither
playback nor capture

http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#Skype I found this. Here is an
workaround howto suspend pulseaudio when running skype. I will try it.

Comment 6 Peter Sabiniewicz 2007-11-15 17:47:14 UTC

I worked very hard on skype. Only effect is that i have sound in booth speakers
but there is problem with capture device :/

Comment 7 Will Woods 2007-12-03 17:49:35 UTC

This is a bug in Skype, not pulseaudio. 

There are some workarounds mentioned on the PulseAudio wiki:
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#Skype

But unfortunately Skype is closed-source software that we can't fix.
