You could check if Skype is using pulseaudio. If so, you could try alsa.

Dear List -
The sound on Skype (sid) is impossible!! It is so chopped up that it is 
impossible to make a call. The sound recorder and audio streams 
[YouTube, video on Wall Street Journal] work perfectly.
Any suggestions?
TIA
Ethan

Installed ALSA -

Works.  Wonderful!!

How do I get Linux to recognize ALSA.  As far as Linux is concerned, my 
sound driver is 'default'.

TIA
