I must admit this is just about the only hardware issue I'm having with this laptop, but I did choose to go with the intel graphics and the intel wireless card (the 4965AGN) as they are generally compatible with linux. I've been able to solve my problem by using an external mic under Hardy, but still. I suspect some of the problems with the low volume of the mic to be coming from pulseaudio because before I had skype using pulseaudio the volume, for some reason, was higer, but I couldn't use Skype alongside for instance a media player which isn't real handy either. My guess would be that somewhere in the code pulseaudio decreases the sensitivity of the mic. If it were a driver problem I'd think that the mic would not be working at all, instead of being too soft. I must admit that I'm still not convinced that pulseaudio was a step forward for ubuntu.
