Microphone problem

I've got an Inspiron 5100 from Dell.  It is about two years old.  I've
installed Ubuntu on it, Breezy.  Everything is pretty much working.  I
don't use the ethernet or the modem so I've disabled them in the setup 
and I'm not worried about the drivers.

I do have one problem though.  Recording anything from the external
microphone, all I get is silence.  I actually tried several different
microphones since none of them had been used in a long time.  Then I
booted up under Dell's test CD and tested the microphone there.  It 
worked fine.  

The driver I'm using is the snd_intel8x0 driver.  It is automatically
detected on boot up.  All the sounds work fine.  

This is actually an important feature to me.  I need it to work as soon
as possible.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Thank you,
