Microphone sound can normally either:

  (a)  Be sent directly to the computer speakers
  (b)  Be 'recorded' by programs such as Skype.

It is likely that your microphone is currently set to the first
option.  This can be changed by:

  1.  Double Clicking on the '=<)' Volume Control at the top of the screen.
  2.  Clicking on the "Capture" tab.
  3.  Below the "Microphone" slider, there should be two small icons.  The
      State of these icons can be toggled by clicking on them.
  4a. The Mute (left small icon) should be covered by a Red X.
  4b. The Record (right small icon) should not be covered by a Red X.

Hopefully that should solve your issue,
