On my laptop there are two mics - the internal one and the jack that you plug the external mic into. I can switch between them using alsamixer. In a terminal type:

alsamixer -c0

Tab to "capture" and then arrow to "Input So". Up/down arrow will select between sources. Then make sure the capture level is all the way up.
