I would run down to Circuit City, but alas! Shanghai doesn't have one. :) There is a Best Buy here though. Ha! Pretty nice actually, reminds me of home a little. It is funny, how they have Walmart and Best Buy and a few other things we know from home, but they actually aren't set up exactly how they are Stateside.
I can probable find what you're talking about elsewhere here though (I am presently working in Shanghai as a translator, but we are from Indiana).
Actually, I still have the USB sound card from TurtleBeach. I haven't tried it yet with Intrepid, I may give it a whirl. Maybe someday, they'll get my sound card working correctly. :) That would be nice...
At least my sound coming out of my speakers is pretty nice, and the headphone jack gives me real nice sound with a decent pair of head phones. So mostly I'm happy. :)
Thanks again.

Sorry, I've been too busy today to respond. I am not sure I want to ditch pulseaudio just yet, as it is only when I use the pulse audio selection in the audio settings in Skype that I get any sound at all! Besides, if I ditch pulse audio, what happens to the rest of my programs that use Pulseaudio?
You might want to do a reply-all to my previous message to get more replies than mine :-) Your sound card probably has more than one output (mine appears to have at least two, though I don't know where they're connected on this laptop).
Regarding plughw, I'll give it another try, but last time I did, I had no success. I have two such devices listed: plughw:SB,0 and plughw:SB,6 and I don't know why two devices would show up, as I don't have any other sound devices plugged in, no webcam at present, for instance... anybody have an anser to that one?
Another possibility involves spending some money: I bought a plantronics USB headset which looks like another soundcard. It was, as I recall, about $20-25 from Circuit City; they're cheaper on Amazon but as I was on a business trip at the time ...
