Windows 10: Skype audio

Since this morning, my Skype recipients can no longer hear me. I've checked all settings (even though I did not change them) and all seem fine. My microphone works when tested in Windows, but the Echo test on Skype does not.

:)

 

Skype webcam sound won't work

Terminate Skype, then go to Control panel -> Sound and audio devices -> Audio -> un-check "Use only default devices", restart Skype and see if the webcam audio input is listed.

Skype?

As this is a now quite established messenger system of sorts perhaps a Skype feature for people skype names so perhaps some real time problem solving/discussions could be mounted?
Just a wee suggestion.
