Update Computer Sound Card Drivers
If Skype still does not recognize your microphone, the problem may be due to the sound card. In this case, you should check the brand and model of the sound card and also download the latest drivers.
It may also be useful to go to the manufacturer's website and try to download the latest audio drivers.
