[sloved] Skype - Internal microphone not working Acer 5315

Hello

After instaling Arch on laptop Acer 5315 we cannot use internal microphone :\
I was checked in

alsamixer

and choice Capture - Internal Mic and rasie volume to the max - next ESC

alsactl store

but when I run Skype microphone not working still quiet

Strange that in alsamixer I choice Internal Mic but when I run xfce4-mixer then Input Source is Mic not Internal Mic - why??

How to make internal mickrophone working?

I think you'll have more options for the mic in alsamixer if you press F4.
However, the mic might just be to crappy for you to hear anything. I don't know if this goes for all built in microphones, but the mic on my Acer Aspire One is really bad. I have to use an external mic for anyone to hear anything at all.
