Solved Skype Mysteriously Started Working ... Except

I have never had skype in chrome working for video calls, only ever messaging. Until I tried it last night.
And it works. Mysteriously. I have not changed anything, except upgrading packages. Everything works ... except the microphone.

I have got zoom to work, with video, sound and microphone. But in skype, I can see, be seen and hear. But I could really do with the microphone.

I have tried with the internal camera, and a plug in USB camera. Both work for video only.

Getting skype up and running would be the last step for me to drop my old windows box off a cliff.

Do you know how to get the microphone working in skype in chrome? Thank you.
 
I have tried to make a call and:
- web-page crashes after few minutes of call.
- no sound at all
+ camera works
 
Chrome or Chromium? Single input/output audio device or two separate devices?
Chromium.
