Microphone is OK but not working with Viber, Skype etc

[kerenyisz]

Hello! My computer is a HP Pavilion Laptop 15-cs2xxx with Win10 Home 64 bit OS. It has a Realtek Audio built in microphone, driver version 6.0.1.8656. If I test it at Sound Mixer, System Sounds, Recordings, it detects noises. But if I use sound tests in Skype, Viber, etc. it doesn't and my partners also don't hear me. There isn't any other microphone connected to the laptop. It is allowed for applications to access microphone. Do you have any idea what is the problem?
