Ok, same problem in 10.04, and after upgrading to 10.10
Here is a workaround that DOES work:
Open a terminal and type following commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r)

Note: After installing the linux-alsa-driver-modules package, your
system needs to be rebooted.  REBOOT

After rebooting open a terminal and type: alsamixer.. you will be presented 
with a mixer..
press F4 for "capture"  you will see a list of mics available. I had to go thru 
all of them, and turned out that internal mic was "mic F"

If you click on the your gnome icon for speakers and go to sound prefs and then 
input, you will be able to see when your "bars" start moving at the same time 
you are testing in the above alsa mixer going thru the available mics.
**If for any reason you need to revert the change, type in terminal:
sudo apt-get remove linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r)
Tested and works in both Lucid and Meerkat

Good luck!!
