I can't get my internal mic to work with any app other than Sound Recorder. I've scoured the other posts on this topic and none seem to have an answer. I've installed Alsa Mixer, Pulse Audio controls, tried minimising one of the stereo channels but nothing works. The mic is not muted. There is no function key on the keyboard to mute the mic either. The only connector options are analogue mic or analgue input. Neither do anything.

I lost hours on this too. In the end the best solution was to buy a relative cheap external soundcard with a jack input.

    @Thomson Dawes. I think it does. My mic didn't work. After hours of reading & frustration the only solution was to buy external USB sound card with headphone output and mic input jack. The mic then worked through that. I can now use a microphone with my Ubuntu system.
