If it works, then sound card and drivers are ok, and you should be looking for hardware problems with the internal mic or its connectors.
Regardless of which, if your computer is still under warranty, you should claim for this to be fixed.

And check the Mic Settings.

Failing that you should run through the Skype Setup and allow it to adjust the Mic settings as required.

Of course if the Mic has been changed in the Sound Devices to something else the Skype Setup process isn't going to succeed.

If that's the case you'll have to open the Control Panel and make the necessary adjustments there and if there is no Mic at all you should check the Device Manager for the correct installation of the Audio and Web Cam Devices.

Also check to see if the Mic has been set to [b]Mute[/b] somewhere along the line. ;)
