By default, mics are muted and set to 0 volume. Since you didn't
mention checking it ( I figure you probably did, but it's always the
little things that crop up) I will. Also, if skype has a hardware
setting in it, make sure it's trying to use the right device. Some
webcams have a horrible mic built into them, and if you've got a
webcam, it might be trying to use that microphone instead of a real
one.
