This answer works very good for me on 20.04 (I don't have a 22.04 installation to test).

I copy the text below:

Install PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol):
```
 sudo apt install pavucontrol
```
Now we will route your microphone to your speakers. Do this by running the following command:
```
 pactl load-module module-loopback latency_msec=1
```
On the Recording tab of pavucontrol, you can show all streams (combobox at the bottom) and then configure which microphone (if you have more than one) should loopback into the built-in analog stereo
To stop it running, run:
```
pactl unload-module module-loopback
```

You can simply, play your microphone through your speakers like so:

aplay <(arecord -f cd)

More ways (including recording) can be found at Recording phone calls in Ubuntu 20.04 - not just Skype
