Tried using an external mic?

Check Sound/Audio in Control Panel. Open its propertes and go thru each tab. You will notice mic config parameters for recording or voice.. change as necessary.

i havent tryed with a external mic yet but when tested my mic in teamspeak, my mouth had do be right infront of it and i had to talk loud.. so its is picking up my voice... u can see that the volume control is maxed out -> http://bildr.no/view/261368 ( the language is in norwegian but its almost the same, microphone is mikrofon ect... )

Looks like your mic is working but just not sensitive enough. I did a quick search on this and I see that some were solved by a sound/audio driver and chipset driver update. I think it would be best if you start with this.
