In my attempt to get Skype set up on my netbook (an Acer Aspire One model AOA 150) I ran in to trouble with the internal microphone. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition.
To solve the issue, install the package pavucontrol, it is a volume mixer for Pulse Audio. After it is installed, go to the Input tab and make the sliders for "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" move independently, then turn one all the way down and adjust the other as needed (mine is set to 30%).
I also had to setup Skype to NOT automatically adjust mixer levels as it kept thinking things were too loud and turning down the mic whenever it detected sound.
