I have tried numerous solutions online, installing various packages but none has worked.

Other things to note: I hear audio in skype.

Did you try unmuting the mic from that last window? – dadexix86 Jun 10 '16 at 15:53
    
@dadexix86 how do you know it is muted? – Abhishek Bhatia Jun 10 '16 at 15:58
    
There is a red line next to the symbol of the speaker. This means either that it is muted or that it is not properly recognised (with the result that it is muted). You try to unmute it, if it doesn't work than the problem is that it is not recognised. – dadexix86 Jun 10 '16 at 16:00
    
It is a button, when I press it gets mute(, atleast that is what it says.) I think it is latter you said. It is not recongised. – Abhishek Bhatia Jun 10 '16 at 16:01

Setting in Pulse Audio Volume Control:

Open Pulse Audio Volume Control > Configuration tab > Built-in Audio - Profile: Analog Stereo Duplex
