    Try what v3loc1ty2.0 said... turn the microphone input volume way up... also try a different recording software...

    If it still doesn't work... why bother... Everyone owns a HP dv series laptop knows that the integrated microphone sucks... you can get way better result from a cheap $1 microphone from dollar store...

    good luck

    yeah the integrated mics are not meant for any type of recording (just for chatting)

    Yeah, the built-ins are pretty poor but from what I have noticed with my system is that drivers make some difference. Try a couple of different audio drivers(if you havent already tried) and choose the best of those. You are still going to pick up background noise but it should atleast be usable for VOIP.
