Skype Bug: Kinect mic nonfunctional for Skype only.

Since the update to Skype on my Preview-enrolled Xbox One, the Kinect microphone does not work with the app. I have the permissions set correctly—Skype is allowed to access my mic in the Settings page—and the Kinect mic works in all other situation, including
game chat and voice commands.

But now when making Skype calls only the video works. No one receives my audio, and occasionally I get an error message saying that my mic isn't working. But it is, just not for Skype, despite all the right settings as I said.

None of these things are in preview now and I'm having the exact same issue. Nothing I do can make Skype use the Kinect as a microphone. Kinect voice commands work perfectly, so there's no issue at all with the hardware. Skype just does not use it, which
makes Skype on the Xbox entirely useless.

Is there any solution to this?

 

Any update on this situation?
