You may need to restart the computer after you kill off Skype. Skype viciously reassigns sound pathways to suit itself and it doesn't like to give them up and it's not negotiable. If you mean the input or mic volume control in Audacity, that could be responding to the Windows Control Panel settings ...

It's difficult for that combination to produce that error. So this is my puzzled puppy look [tilting head sideways].
