Microphone not showing up in PulseAudio/Other Applications

So I have a webcam with a microphone that I've been trying to use as my microphone. It's a Microsoft Lifecam HD-5000.
It is detected in alsamixer, and it is unmuted. I can see it is a sound card when I press F6 to select it, and then F4 to switch to the capture screen.
However, when I pavucontrol, there is nothing in the input devices tab. I cannot configure with Skype, as the only option for me to select any device is PulseAudio Server. It is listed when I type in arecord -l as card0 device0.

In my /etc/asound.conf file, I have put this in
playback.pcm{
        type hw
        card 0
        device 0
        }
