Install and launch gnome-alsamixer , go to the second tab HDA INTEL PCH,
increase all "mic" , "mic boost", "internal" and "capture" faders level,
also verify faders "mute" state.

Manish Ranjan over 9 yearsI just verified by using google chat and mic sound still seems distorted. it is bad at the receiver end though it became better after increasing mic volume like @laugeo suggested

laugeo over 9 yearsOk, you can monitor your own micro sound running in a terminal
vlc pulse://
(install vlc eventually) : using a headphone and speaking , set a correct mic level using the various faders in gnome-alsamixer (try also standards fader in "sound setting" "input" tab )
