Usually the speakers on the laptop would act as a microphone- go into speaker properties, enable microphone and see it reacts. Bar that, you could go with the usb or bluetooth microphone route (I use the same headset for my phone as a microphone for my pc)

SOURCE: internal microphone in gateway turned off, now will not turn on.
You may need to raise the level by going back into Control Panel -> Sound. From there, click the Recording tab -> right-click Microphone and select Properties. Finally, click the Levels tab and raise the level.
I had to do this on mine, too.
Hope this helps.

Your jack may have been damaged, or the apple mic may not be compatible. Purchase another pc compatible mic to check. Or you could try a multimedia headset with mic that plugs into your usb port. Take a look at RadioShack for headsets, I saw one in a store near me. and they should have them online.

Sound and Recording jacks stop working on the DV6000 series due to the ribbon cable running under the power button. when the power button is pushed it bends the flex cable and over time it breaks the connection rendering the front jacks useless you can buy a new upper button panel for about 20 dollars on ebay

Select the Voice tab and choose the the appropriate item in the Voice recording Default device pop-up menu.
In Vista, choose Start> Control Panel > Sounds and click on the Recording tab.
In both instances, choose your external mic as the default.

Using
a microphone with computer
To use any microphone with your
computer you will need to enable it in control panel. The following
instructions are for Windows XP but are broadly similar for Vista
and Win7
Click START, CONTROL PANEL, SOUNDS
& AUDIO DEVICES
Click VOICE
Now click the VOLUME button in the
SOUND RECORDING BOX. Here you need to SELECT microphone as an input source for
recording (as opposed to un-checking mute in the playback
controls). If your webcam/ microphone is built in to the laptop there should also be a volume control called 'Internal MIC' - disable it by placing a check-mark in the mute box.
NOTE if microphone (or internal MIC) is not listed in the
2 sets of volume controls click OPTIONS, PROPERTIES on the tool-bar and
place a check against microphone in the list entitled
'show the following volume controls' and then click OK.
That should be it but it is possible you may also need to turn off the microphone in the software for your web-cam.
