no microphone in skype

[kamaraju kusumanchi <raju.mailinglists@gmail.com>]

Can someone please tell me how to get microphone working in Skype?

When I do
Skype -> Options -> Sound Devices -> Make a test call

I can't hear back my own voice. So the microphone is not working.

In "Open PulseAudio Volume Control" -> Input Devices , I see two sections
1. Built-in Audio Analog Stereo
2. QuickCam Pro 9000 Analog Mono

When I make a sound, the blue bar in "QuickCam Pro 9000 Analog Mono"
section oscillates depending on the sound. But the blue bar in the
Built-in Audio section does not. This tells me that the microphone is
working but Skype is not able to use it somehow.

I tried clicking "Muto Audio" button in "Built-in Audio" section and
using the QuickCam Pro 900 as the fallback (green button at the top
right)

In the "Configuation" menu, I have set Built-in Audio profile to off,
QuickCam Pro 9000 Profile to "Analog Mono Input". What am I missing?

rajulocal@hogwarts:~$ dpkg -l skype \*pulseaudio\* | grep ^ii
ii  pulseaudio                 5.0-13       amd64        PulseAudio sound server
ii  pulseaudio-module-x11      5.0-13       amd64        X11 module
for PulseAudio sound server
ii  pulseaudio-utils           5.0-13       amd64        Command line

ii  skype                      4.3.0.37-1   i386         Wherever you
are, wherever they are

If someone got Skype working can you please share your configuration details?

thanks
