No, it's not related to Skype. It stops working after few minutes after boot even without using any sound apps. I keep open Sound Preferences window to see the input level indicator and it just freezes after some time.

Can you provide this output please:
Code:pkill pulseaudio; sleep 2; pulseaudio -vv
here is the output:

So any ideas? Is it a driver problem or PulseAudio? Is there any way to detect & resolve it?
Kinda at a loss here. I would report a bug. Try running this command in a terminal for 10.04 or later:
Code:ubuntu-bug audio
I have working solution:
loock on: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1043568
I have hp nx 6325 and setting describe there for my mic dont work but i check other solution (from this post) and its working!!! I have Ubuntu 10.10
what I do:
terminal
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
At the end of file I add:
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba position_fix=1
save and reboot.
After reboot your card could be auto check in alsa (icon in statos bars is inactive)
go to terminal
alsamixer
click F6 mark your device
and:
killall pulseaudio
sudo alsa force-reload
If used standard don't work for you please chech other lines (for other noteboock).

I've got the exact same problem on HP6735b running 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat).
According to help.ubuntu.com (link), I've added "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop" to alsa-base.conf, but no change. Also tried adding "enable_msi=1" or "enable_msi=0", but neither helped.Code:$ lspci | grep -i audio 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) $ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec Codec: Analog Devices AD1984A Codec: LSI ID 1040
After ~10min since reboot I've noticed mic stopped working again and I've checked syslog. I found about 20 events suppressed by ratelimit.c (see below), and none of them in the next 15min, so it's possibly related to the mic problem.
The only way I can make mic working again is to reboot. Neither killing pulseaudio nor running "alsa force-reload" helps.Code:Nov 20 19:40:32 <reboot> Nov 20 19:40:40 mylaptop pulseaudio[2200]: core-util.c: Home directory /etc/timidity not ours. Nov 20 19:40:40 mylaptop pulseaudio[2200]: lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock.

Is there any way to debug pulseaudio to see what the exact problem is?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
I'm not pasting the whole result, since I have my system is Polish and itwouldn't tell you much, but "Daemon already running." is the important part, I guess. Pulseaudio autospawns everytime I kill it and I don't know how to stop it.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 x64, if that changes anything..
The whole idea was to restart pulse in the terminal with verbose output so we could see the error messages.
PA is configured to respawn so that is normal behavior.
This info would be useful as well.
Use the alsa-info-script to provide detailed information.
Run this command in a terminal:
Choose the upload option and provide a link for the output.Code:wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh
