This is not an uncommon problem with Linux and notebook built-in mics, especially with the proprietary and non-standard hardware used by Sony in their Vaio systems. My suggestion is to get a bluetooth headset. Alternatively, an external mic may work. I assume in any case that you have tried the various mic options in the Skype sound setup page?
Also, what Linux distribution+version+kernel are you running? That has a lot of effect on the hardware supported.Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
