I downloaded and installed Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix on my Asus Eee PC
900 on 4/21 and installed any available updates. I did not change any
module settings or do anything to ALSA. I performed the following steps
to get my built-in microphone to work.

- I right-clicked on the speaker icon on the panel and opened the volume 
control.
- I opened the Preferences and enabled Capture, Front Mic, Front Mic Boost, and 
Input Source.
- I set Front Mic to 100% (muted) and Front Mic Boost to 33% (unmuted) on the 
Playback tab.
- I set Capture to 80% (unmuted, capture) on the Recording tab.
- I chose Front Mic as the Input Source on the Options tab.

I'm not suggesting that the microphone works perfectly after performing
these steps, but they made it possible for me to hear my own voice
played back to me during a Skype test call. I hope this helps someone
else. Many thanks to the sites that I referenced below.
