Microphone not working in Skype

[LinxBeginner]

Hi, I just wanted to share how I solved my mic problem with Skype.  I have LL 1.0.8 in 2017 on Acer Aspire one.  To give my condition, microphone was working fine after going to $ gstreamer-properties to fix it. https://askubuntu.com/questions/163729/m...g-in-skype

Mic for skype was however still not working. then I found this page:

I found many forum about this topic and many involved killing pluseaudio, etc, which I am not competent to do.  This simple processes did it for me; hope this helps others also.  Best
