Have a Acer Aspire One D225E set up with Gnome 3 and PulseAudio (Arch Linux). I can record sound through my mic just fine with arecord, audacity set to alsa, etc. However with PulseAudio I get nothing. Input does not register in pavucontrol (though everything seems set up fine) and I can hear nothing through my mic when using Skype. I've tried the solution here with no success: https://getsatisfaction.com/jolicloud/topics/deaf_internal_mic_on_acer_aspire_one#reply_2108048
