Question #11518 on gnome-media in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+question/11518

Winddancer proposed the following answer:
I had the same problem. I solved it by playing around and finding the correct entry for mixer.
I selected microphone and it worked, as long as the alsa mixer had it activated, same with mic boost.

So, to recapitulize:

Step 1) got to System > Preferences > Audio > Mixer
Select the device.
For the other options, I have selected the Pulse Audio Server and the hda Intel set.
Step 2) call alsamixer
Press tab, to get to the capture panel, and make sure the device is active (I set mine to 100/red).

And for me it worked, also for Skype!
