[Rod Murphy <rod.murphy@xxxxxxxxx>]

In volume control preferences I've checked:

Master, PCM, Front, Front Mic, Front Mic Boost, Capture, Headphone, Input
source

For device HDA Intel (Alsa mixer) and

Volume and PCM-2

For device Intel G45 DEVTG (OSS Mixer)

Then in  volume control for device HDA Intel (Alsa mixer), I made sure all
sliders (except front mic boost which expectedly, caused the speakers to
hiss) were pushed near the top and ensured everything was un-muted. This is
probably overkill but, you can reduce volumes or mute channels by trial and
error if necessary.

On the Options tab I selected the "Int Mic" as input source.

Skype was set to use default sound devices.

Hope that helps,

Rod.
