Hiya,
I am working my way round the house loading Ubuntu 11.04 on the various PC's.
My son has an Acer Ferrari netbook which I have loaded 11.04 on to dual boot with win 7.
Specs are here:

Everything seems to work OK apart from Skype.
As he is disabled and can't get to my office upstairs (where my other webcam enabled PC is) I want to get this working for him so that he can have chats with family/friends.
For my office PC I had issues with Skype but found a fix to load PulseAudio and tweak the mic settings.
This does not work for the Acer netbook. The sound is crackly/distorted and if you switch the video on during the chat then the person you are calling can't hear you. So the video starts but the audio stops
I have loaded the latest ATI graphics drivers btw.
Any help appreciated.
