Hi,
 
Does the issue occur only with Skype?

Follow the steps mentioned below.

Step 1:
 
You can use the line-in connection on your sound card to connect a portable music player, microphone, or other audio input device to your computer.
 
Most sound cards have at least one line-out port to connect speakers and a line-in port where you can connect an audio input device.
 
However, the line-in connection to your sound card is muted by default. This means that if you plug an audio device into this port, it will not produce any sound on your computer until you enable sound for the line-in connection.

To enable sound for the line-in connection
 
a.       Open Control Panel > Click on Sounds
b.       Click the Playback tab, click Speakers, and then click Properties.
c.       Click the Levels tab, and then, under Line In, click the Mute button to enable sound for the line-in connection.
The line-in connection is muted by default.

Step 2:

Check the microphone by recording sound.
