I was able to solve my issue with low microphone volume in pulseaudio on a Dell xps m1330 (exactly, m1330n) with an audio device Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller on ubuntu jaunty 9.04.
A small change had to be done: change the line in ~/.asoundrc (or /etc/asound.conf) "max_dB 50.0" to max_dB 30.0 , otherwise the gain would be way too high.
Just for the records (and google search), following marcus grenado
