I would try going to Start, Accessories, Entertainment, and opening the Sound Recorder. Try doing a test record and see if it moves, or plays back what you record. If not, click on Edit at the top of the sound recorder, and go down to audio properties. You should see a sound recording section in the middle. Click volume, make sure microphone is selected, and the volume is up. If this doesn't fix it, try reloading your audio driver for your model of computer. You can download dell drivers from support.dell.com
Double click on the sound icon in the systray to launch volume control. Go to options, properties to enable the microphone properties. Make sure the mute option box is not checked under microphone.
While the computer is booting, press F2 or similar to go into the BIOS menus. When in, go through the various options (dont change anything) until you come to Pointing Device or similar. It is probably set for auto at the moment. Try changing to BOTH. If set for BOTH, then change to auto.
You may also check for legacy USB emulation and enable that as well.
Any standard desktop microphone or headset with microphone will perfectly work. It requires simple crystal microphone which starts from few dollars. You can get from any IT store
