Using the same skype version (and former ones), with various
input/output hardware (not the ones you have), I encounter no issue
here with sound setup (I know this doesn't help, sorry). Are you able
to use the hardware you described, especially the input device, with
other software in this CentOS7, starting with alsamixer?
