After upgrading my Ubuntu 13.10 Skype don’t capture my audio input. here is the error
ALSA lib conf.c:4694:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters CARD=MID
ALSA lib control.c:953:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:CARD=MID
Solution:
Installing ‘libasound2-plugins:i386’
sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins:i386
