First I have a Bug in for the Alsa Mixer. Here is how I get it working 
but first let me say my headset is attached to the sound card. To see 
your mixer click on System Preferances  Personal and at the bottom 
Volume Control.

Now click on File Change device and if you have another change to that. 
Find the Micophone and by default it is turned OFF. Clear that and your 
mike will work. On Skype I am K5DIUSA
