Bonjour to you: You haven't given enough information. Maybe this will help 
you. On my system, which is running KDE, I can open KMix and go to 
the "Switches" tab, and there is a switch to boost the mic input +20db. It 
seems to get turned off by updates periodically and makes my Skype unusable 
till I figure it out.
