The EeePC has the same problem with it’s Microphone – I have found the fix for that works quite well for me – I have posted the fix for the EeePC, as something to try, to the Ubuntu Forums.

I have found what mike says to be true on every version of Linux I use, the mic adjust feature in Skype is worthless.

If you're using Pulse Audio and have the "Let Skype automatically adjust the volume level" option check, Skype helpfully keeps the microphone level zeroed. Untick that option and readjust the levels manually.

Jono, there's an input and output slider for the Mic. Are you sure you're toggling the input slider and not the output (speaker volume) slider?

Or use Ekiga, it plays nicely with pulseaudio etc...
