Bug Description
I used the Debian package (9.6 MB) Xandros, MEPIS, Ubuntu, other Debian-based distros to download and install Skype from the Skype homepage.
It would be a dream if every application installed so easily. With one exception Skype worked fine.
The sound from my microphone was extremely weak. Which of Ubuntu's application is used/should I use for recording sound from my microphone?
Please include Skype in your packages of approved applications.

Skype is closed-source, proprietary, non-free software so it can't be installed by default, sorry.
Can you try using 'Sound Recorder' in Applications-> Sound and Video to record sound? If it's also quiet there, you should try right-clicking on the volume control icon on the top right panel and selecting 'Open Volume Control'. Playing around with the Recording volumes might help.
