He means that you need to provide more information and a good question. Looking at your post, we see that you use arch, have problems with skype and that the problem is with the microphone. There is nothing to go on here. Please try to provide some useful information and do some research. Also detail what you have already done (and read the link Alad posted, together with the forum policy).

Hm. I wrote that i tested my microphone(used pulsaudio server) with arecord and it worked fine, but skype has a problem - it not worked in it. Sounds in Skype works normally. Is not that enough? I understand that is a problem with Skype, but how it solve - I don't know, Google too.

So you do have sound? Did you by any chance enable no remixing in pulse?

Are there any error messages when you run skype from the command line?

It not helps for me. Yes, I have sound. Problem only with microphone is Skype. Only in Skype. And no errors in cmd.

If I am not mistaken, arecord is an alsa utility. Maybe the alsa config is fine, but the pulseaudio config is broken. Try to look into that.

I reinstalled Skype and pulseaudio. All the same. All installed with default configs.
