I had lots of problems with audio when pulse was first released.
This was over a year ago, but at the time, the recommendation
on the list that worked for me was to not use it:

I've been happily not using pulseaudio ever since and have had
no problems with skype.  For me, pulseaudo removes 90% of
the configuration options available in alsamixer one of which
was needed to make audio work on my hardware.  I'm sure
pulseaudio is way better now than it was back then, but my
audio was working fine without it, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I'm not recommending that people don't use pulseaudio,
but if you can't get audio working with it, try removing it and
then running alsamixer.  For me, I have to make sure I have
enabled the proper sound capture device in alsamixer.  It's
not obvious, but hitting a space bar enables a device.

Good luck...
