Microphone does not work with Skype

[Roger]

I have the same installation.
check the 2 sound apps.
In the app search bar type  sound  and you will see the 2 apps. One is 
to set the driver to the correct input and output and set the volume and 
the other allows you to record and playback as a test that all is 
working ok.
