If in Gnome desktop, right click on the volume applet, choose to open
the sound settings. If there is not a capture tab shown, go into the
settings of that window and enable some of the mic related things.

Your capture mixer could be too low or the mic you have might need the
mic dB boost enabled.

Also, ensure that your mic is plugged into the mic jack (often
coloured pink) and not just the line-in since the line-in often
doesn't provide the "phantom voltage" needed to make the mic do its
thing.
