Well after thinking of it , i think that here is the problem .
Skype only gives me the option of PulseAudio server , so
i have it for microphone , speakers and ringing options ..

Using audacity for example . At first i could here no sound . But then
when i went to preferences and chose the usb camera , things worked
correctly . So i guess we can assume that the system itself is aware
of the microphone on the camera .

The only microphone connected . There is a microphone input on my
built-in sound card but there is nothing connected to it.

Pavucontrol ?

Am not sure about what u mean with pavucontrol , so i would have to
improvise . The closest thing to that would be the PulseAudio Volume
Control . Am unaware on how u select the default recording device
but i have muted everything else , so i guess that will make it
pretty much the default device .

Nope , it´s not muted . It was never so . I just muted everything else .

- did you try to logout/login into skype (sometimes it helps)?

Yes many . The problem is persistent . It survives even a machine reboot.
