Since this was not the focus of your post, you didn't provide enough information about your microphone setup. But if you have a problem with your microphone on Linux, you might need to specifically set your soundcard default to your soundcard. I know it sounds weird or even silly, but even though I only have one soundcard chipset in my computer (Intel board and intel hda sound chipset) the microphone didn't work until I changed the soundcard default from "default" to "HDA Intel". I think I used a program called "setdefaultcard"; it's in the alsa(-tools?) package.
After that, everything worked, including Skype.
