Comment 9 for bug 258581

I think it's really confusing to the user why he / she shouldn't be using the pulse device for both sound input and output since he / she sees this device in the drop-down menu.

Using the microphone by directly selecting from one of the 10 (!!) devices (default, pulse, hdmi, headset + 3x2 HDA Intel) which are offered to me, does still not work.

The only way I can currently use the sound in in skype is by plugging in an external microphone on the usb port.
