Public bug reported:

Okay, what gives here? When using Skype in Lucid the webcam mic works
fine. However in Xubuntu 11.10 Webcam mic don't. I've tried setting the
Alsamaster to be the same as what is in Lucid. That didn't work. Checked
all settings for comparison. Still didn't help. The only way that I can
get the sound test to work is by using an external microphone. Even
tried sound recorder with same results. But when reading in the Xubuntu
help section I noticed that it mentions something about using external
microphones only. So, I'm taking that to mean that  the webcams
microphones aren't going to be working with Xubuntu? Just external only?
I mean, I can hear sound fine from other media except for when trying to
talk or record something without an external microphone. If that's the
only way to use Skype or something like Sound Recorder then they should
put that in the description of Xubuntu to give people fair warning when
thinking of downloading and installing. I'm fine with that if it's the
only way to use it but it would have been nice to have known that in the
beginning then I wouldn't have been searching all over hell and back
trying to find a solution to this. Maybe I misread the help section of
the Xubuntu but it makes it seem to read that you're only able to use an
external microphone when recording or using Skype. Anyone else have this
going and am I on the right page in assuming that it is an external use
only?
