Is there a sound card here?
Or is this the sound system on the motherboard?
Does ANY mic work in this system?
Are you sure you have it plugged into the correct input jack?
Tried a different sound card in this computer?
Mic input not muted?
Mic input level adjust to max?
Master input level (if present?) adjusted to max?
Does the mic input have a "+20dB" adjustment (checkbox)?

Consider the fact that the mic input on your device (motherboard
or sound card) may just be broken.

Next time try using a computer instead of a confuser.

Get a separate sound card. Integrated ones generally require lots of
support from the uP. Buy a Santa Cruz. It's cheap and good.
