Skype audio issue while sharing screen

Volume Control - Recording - Change from Mic to Monitor of Tiger Lake Speaker and my listener can hear the song perfectly but obviously cannot hear me speak.

Skype does not have an issue when used as intended with one microphone, but users who want to mix more than one audio source to Skype callers will need to customise audio server configuration

Archwiki has an example for Mixing additional audio into the microphone’s audio

There is also pulsemeeter^AUR package with GUI controls

I usually use jack_mixer in JACK to control multiple audio streams - VOIPmixxer · GitHub Gist

But I also made a simpler version of the Archwiki script – PulseaudioVoipMix.sh – that can be used on another system by editing names for microphone source and headphone/speaker sink

#!/bin/bash
# ~/.local/bin/PulseaudioVoipMix.sh
# reconfigure Pulseaudio for microphone mix with audio playback for VOIP calls and/or recording

### Names of microphone source and headphone sink MUST be edited to match system devices ***
#= use 'pactl list sources' to find correct 'Name' for microphone source
microphone=alsa_input.usb-AOKEO_LCS_USB_Audio_000001760000-00.mono-fallback
## use 'pactl list sinks' to find correct 'Name' for headphone sink
headphone=alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic.HiFi__Speaker__sink.analoog-stereo

# create null sink for mix to voip caller
pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=voipmix remix=0
# create microphone loopback to voipmix
pactl load-module module-loopback latency_msec=30 source=$microphone sink=voipmix
# create simultaneous output for audio to voipmix and headphones 
pactl load-module module-combine-sink channels=2 slaves=voipmix,$headphone
# set the default source for voip caller to hear voipmix
pactl set-default-source voipmix.monitor
