    By default skype is using "pulseaudio" (poor choice) and it will not
    let you select input device for sound.
    The solution that works is to emerge "pavucontrol" Pulse Audio
    Volume Control
    Under "tab" Input Devices in Pulse Audio Volume Control there should
    be entry for a web-cam; in my case it is Web-Cam C270
    On the right there is a button: "Set as Fallback" it should be
    enabled.
    The skype will not show in Control USB audio input option but the
    call sound with skype will work.
    Question:
    How do you set alsamixer default card?
    By default it goes to pulseaudio whey I type "alsamixer" I want to
    set it to "0" as default.
