How to merge two microphone inputs into a single virtual microphone in realtime?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
If I connect two microphones to my computer, how would I merge it in to a single virtual microphone. I want the person I am calling on Skype to hear both microphone inputs, preferably only using software.

To be honest, I'm not sure if it would be easier to do this with ALSA or PulseAudio. But I'd recommend trying it with PulseAudio first. What you will probably need to do is connect both of the microphone source-outputs to the same sink. This can be done withpactlorpacmd, and perhaps with some GUI utilities likepavucontrol.

Could you explain how I would do that?

Sorry, I don't have the time to do the research for you. If I already knew the details by heart, I would have said so. ;) You should be able to figure out how with a combination of Google, StackExchange, and the man pages. Tryapropos pulsefor a list of related man pages. And really, with a bit of googling, you should be able to find out how to combine mics with PulseAudio. For example, I found this on the first page of results.

I'd look into alsa with the multi plugin. I've only tried it for playback, but if it doesn't handle capture, perhaps you'll find an analogue for capture.

pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=inputs
and setting channels up for the diverse input
pactl load-module module-loopback sink=inputs
enter the latter command once for each input; the command returns a number; the latter you need later.
the two links describe how to use pavucontrol to link these channels.
