[SOLVED] Pulseaudio not detecting microphone

[tincan]

!Since my mic works perfectly with alsa, I don't see this as a hardware problem, so I put it in software section. !

It's hard for me to explain the problem, but bare with me.

So I have my internal mic finally working with alsa. Recording a .wav works perfectly.

But whenever I go to my pulseaudio settings, it receives a really low input.

First image: You can see that if the source input volume is around 100%, the bottom right PulseAudio volume meter works perfectly, BUT the above volume control detect a really low input (you can see a small bar).
Second image: Whenever I put my source input volume really high (around 400%), the top volume meter finally starts to work, BUT the bottom right one is maxed out.

So when I tested the sound through Skype at 100%: My mic is silent, skype test calls hears nothing.
When I test the sound through Skype at 400%: My mic produces a really hard sound, a really annoying static (KKKKKKGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG)

I just want to get my mic to work on skype, and PulseAudio is the only input I can select on skype.

I'm not sure what the problem is with PulseAudio, cause my mic works perfectly fine when recording a wav.
