Try uninstalling Skype and re-installing it not from Ubuntu Software. Go directly to Skype official website https://www.skype.com/es/get-skype/ and downlod the .deb file. Once you have this file on your computer, open it with the "Software installation" option, by right-clicking on the icon. Install Skype from there. Once your installation is completed, go to the terminal and type:
skypeforlinux
Then you'll be able to use Skype normally.
This installation does not create an icon for you. So you have to create it.

And once this is done, do not upgrade to the new version, contrary to what Skype might tell you.

I am having the same issue, probabaly because Skype is trying to use ALSA and ubuntu is using pulseaudio.

You can try to resolve it, but I cannot guarantee anything.
One way is forcing ALSA to reload:
sudo alsa force-reload
or just reinstall everything:
sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo alsa force-reload
But I did not do any of those (I just hypothesize that these might help), I went for a Skype Web interface. It works perfectly in Google Chrome, so I suggest you give that a try. Unfortunately, it only works in Google Chrome, and no other web browser...
I've tried both but with no luck

I am having the same issue, probabaly because Skype is trying to use ALSA and ubuntu is using pulseaudio.
To clarify, there is sound (firefox, youtube, spotify, etc.). It only affects Skype.
You can try to resolve it, but I cannot guarantee anything.
One way is forcing ALSA to reload:
sudo alsa force-reload
or just reinstall everything:
sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo alsa force-reload
But I did not do any of those (I just hypothesize that these might help), I went for a Skype Web interface. It works perfectly in Google Chrome, so I suggest you give that a try. Unfortunately, it only works in Google Chrome, and no other web browser...
I've tried both but with no luck
