no sound when running skype

[Harold Hartley]

I installed ubuntu 8.10 and it found my wireless card right off the bat 
and I was very pleased. I did all my other stuff needed to be done and 
so I started skype and there was no sound when it started up and there 
was no audio and the video didn't work.
In 8.04 skype worked perfectly sound, audio and video.

Has anyone else have this problem with skype or other app using sound or 
video..
