The screen shot helps a lot here. It clearly points that the mic is set up as the default device. If you click configure, it should allow you to set up the mic. There is an area where it will test the mic by having you read aloud a little paragraph. Have you ran this took and if so has it made a difference?
If possible try an external Microphone and see if it acts any better, just to make sure that this isn't a Windows / driver issue.
If other microphones work fine and you still can't get any better performance out of the integrated microphone you may consider having it replaced under warranty.
If you would like for me to look into it, please shoot me a private message with the service tag of the system, your name, location, shipping and email addresses, and phone number and I will be happy to research possible service options.
