I'm using an USB webcam with integrated microphone  (logitech), and I
had the same problem with skype, until I openend the sound system
settings in gnome-shell, and I saw 2 input devices: One of the soundcard
(I have no attached microphone there!) and that of the webcam (USB).
Switching the microphone to that of the webcam by the system settings
sound menu solved my problem. There is only one issue: I have to repeat
this procedure each time I start sky again.
