You will normally get a response from this forum if you provide a clear description of the problem, good description of the HW & SW used and keep the emoticons to a minimum.

The problem is that Skype doesn't detect my USB microphone automatically. I have to configure it manually from the sound settings everytime I have to use it. This problem is particular to my old NEC desktop. I'm using the same OS (Linux Mint 13 Mate 32bit) on another old desktop with no problems.
