If like me you installed Skype by downloading it straight from their website and found that you couldn’t get it to work properly, mostly with audio problems, there was a workaround that meant if you started it in a terminal with sudo skype then it was ok.

Firstly remove the version you already have installed, then to solve the problem permanently add the following line to your sources.list file.

deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free

:~$ sudo apt-get update

:~$ sudo apt-get install skype

**UPDATE**
It seems that this only works until you you reboot and Skype is started automatically next time you log in, skype seems to be starting with the wrong permissions, so that’s where you should focus your attention.
