I know there are a few threads started on this question, but no one seems to be offering answers to them, so I thought I would try my luck.

Skype is giving me the message "problem with audio playback" when I installed it on my ubuntu 13.10 (using lenovo u430, touch screen). It will not let me make or receive calls. I went through the steps provided through the community help docs for troubleshooting Skype and nothing worked. It's a new computer, and the microphone is working fine, from all I've been able to tell.

Please help!!

Original thread

So, seems that you need to install this way (line by line):

Don't forget to uninstall old existing skype from your pc!

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install skype

This method worked for me. I remember I downloaded skype from skype.com deb package, installed, and had many problems similar to yours. After installing via terminal using repositories, I have 100% luck. Hope that helps ;)
