Hello.
I am trying to use my microphone (with skype and mumble) but was not
able to make it working. I tried all entries in the fields to select
input, but no results every time.
I have removed the mute in alsamixer and the micro works correctly. I
mean, if I speak in it, I can hear my own voice stronger, so it
probably works (but there is an echo for a reason I do not know. This
will be annoying if it persists, but my first goal is to be able to
use the micro, annoying things I can fix later).
In mumble and skype, when trying to select input device, I have a long
list rather unreadable for me, with info like card=SB (I guess it
means SoundBlaster), DEV=0 or DEV=2 (related to /dev? There are 2
files in /dev/snd/by-path?) and only skeakers/converters/null... but
nothing related to microphone AFAIU.
The thing I really can not understand is why I have 2 sounds cards
(also in /proc/asound/cards) but I have not added any in my computer
(the only related NVidia stuff I have are graphic cards) so I wonder
why there are 2 of them (and I am afraid by the NVidia one, to be
honest).

I think this message may lack informations, but I have no idea about
what I can give except those one...
You're getting a lot of really strange advice here. As you said, your
microphone works with Linux on your system. You don't need any
additional software. All you need to do is test the various possible
microphone devices listed in the Skype Sound Device microphone options
until you find one that works. You don't need to understand what they
mean. Just try them. One of them will work.
