Well, thanks to HP, I now have Ubuntu working nicely with Skype. I was recently tortured mentally by the incompetent HP Tech Support in India for hours on the phone. My bad experience with HP gave me enough motivation to get the Linux box working with Skype.
My blog about my HP encounters are here, and here. I am so glad that the nightmare with HP is over. I promised myself that I will never buy another HP computer system again.
The problem with using the mic for Sound Recorder on Ubuntu is still not solved, however, the mic is working with Skype and that is what I needed anyway. The trick is to select the actual sound card device under options in Skype and not allow Skype to use the "default device." I'll try to upload some screen capture in Linux in another blog.
