Here is the fix:
Skype has been known to mess up the mixer settings. So disable the
automatic configuration of the mixer controls in Skype: right-click with your
mouse on the Skype icon in the system tray - Options - Sound Devices - remove
the tick at: Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels. Click Apply.
Then close Skype (right-click with your mouse on the Skype icon - Quit).
Then use Synaptic Package Manager to install pavucontrol (Pulse Audio
Volume Controller). Use that application to set up your input device. Most
built-in mics are mono. The default setting on the Input Control is to lock the
R&L channel together. By reading the mono mic as stereo, PulseAudio cancels the
input. Click on the middle button on the upper right of the control panel to
unlock the R&L channel. Move either the left or right channel to 10 leaving the
other channel about 90. You should now see the VU meter sensing sound. Now
start Skype again. The test call should register your voice now.
