I had _exactly_ the same problem on my compute server which was solved fairly easily in KDE. YMMV in some other environment. In KDE I opened the mixer. Initially it has a fairly limited set of controls. Under 'Settings' I enabled the 'Capture' channel by dragging the Capture icon over to the right side. I enabled the Capture checkbox and raised the Capture volume. Testing with the Skype test service worked and I have no trouble using Skype now. HTH, Mark
