Sound in Skype

[Anthony Brow]

Hi Folks,

Recently, although working ok for quite a while, the incoming sound in
Skype is not working. My version of Skype is 2.2.0.25.  When checking
about this problem on the net, many people are stuck with this problem.
I have done all sorts of checks and also successfully played CDs. Also
the sound settings are ok. The Skype  'sound test' is good, but the test
call just does not work (at least the lady's voice cannot be heard) 

People online in Skype can hear me ok. I get the impression that the
problem is with Skype. And seeing Skype is now owned by Microsoft, who
would one contact there ?

The suggestion has been made to use an older version of Skype, but I am
not sure that this is  still available for Ubuntu 11.04.  And---- Skype
2.2.0.25 is still shown as a "Beta  System" and has been for months.

Well, I really would appreciate any assistance with this bug/problem.

thanks and regards
