UPDATE:
I finally just reinstalled, and thought based on other solutions in that
same thread that installing skype before bumblebee might fix my issues.
So, I reinstalled. Installed skype.
Skype works! Sound works! No config options even needed!
Restarted computer.
Pulse is broken.
Skype doesn't work.
Installed Bumblebee. Normally, this fixes my 'brightness' fn key
functionality (which doesn't work out of the box on ubuntu, I think it's
a nouveau bug). This time, it doesn't (including after a restart).
I try 'optirun skype', the command to run it under the nvidia card on
bumblebee, according to yet another answer on that page. I get this
output, suggesting, as I thought, that bumblebee isn't running:
@:/etc/X11$ optirun skype
[ 869.631200] [ERROR]The Bumblebee daemon has not been started yet or the
socket path /var/run/bumblebee.socket was incorrect.
[ 869.631265] [ERROR]Could not connect to bumblebee daemon - is it running?
this is my log from nvidia:
kajo@kajo-6530:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep nvidia

I still kind of wonder if I install bumblebee first, but then use
`optirun skype` for it, and don't change any system options, if I would
be fine, but I'm loathe to reinstall my system yet again.
