Lisa,
You are right, but there are also issues of 64 bit versus 32 bit (my machine is 64 bit and skype is only 32, I believe), and then alsa and oss. Alsa is running fine now, so I am not sure why I need oss, since I thought skype uses alsa as well. I think the real problem is that alsa is not recognizing my internal mic. The mixer will not let me turn it on, so no audio. I think it is more a configuration issue for alsa and my hardware than skype per se, except that skype is the only app that uses the internal mic.

The nature of Linux is suck that anyone (you or the owner) should be
able to quickly learn to fix the issue by using the Source:
