This is still happening on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Note that I no longer have Windows to test with.

If I don't use Mic Boost it can't be heard but neither can my own voice. If I add Mic Boost my voice can be heard but it is also very noisy. Other people can just barely understand me in Skype (also true if I try to test it with other programs). Microphone works well in Windows Vista.
