Instead of running simply skype, run this:
env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype
Source: Get The Sound Working In Skype With Ubuntu 13.10
Together with the fix for the camera, the thing to run is:
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so && env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype
Which sucks.
A bit better is to have this in a script on the desktop that you can simply double click. So write the following in it.
#!/bin/bash
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so && env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype
And give it run permissions by doing right-click on the file > "Properties" > "Permissions" > and check "Execution permission".
I hate Skype.
