I did NOT have gnome-alsamixer installed. My speaker has always

installed gnome-alsamixer & ran alsamixer from the terminal, tweaked
the Captures, etc, and Skype WORKED. My voice sounded muffled & fuzzy,
so I tried a different mic.. that seemed a bit better. I think it is
just a matter of setting the levels right, not sure exactly which ones
do what, but at least it is working. I wanted to setup Skype so I
could see/talk to my grand daughter on my BIG monitor, not my wife's
laptop..
wow, I have no idea what happened, but I lost my Intel audio card.
alsaconf didn't work, all I had to pick from was a USB sound card, and
it didn't play anything. I even turned OFF the computer & rebooted,
still no sound.
SO, I:
purge alsa-utils alsa-base
aptitude install alsa-utils alsa-base
it then RAN alsaconfig, I selected my Intel audio card, and SOUND returned!
I kept trying to run alsaconf, and it said not found, yet when I
reinstall alsa-base & alsa-utils alsaconf is there... I'm not sure I
understand what happened.
