[SOLVED] Can't get mic to work.trusty tahr

[leonk5]

I am on trusty tahr 3.13.0-32-generic I can get sound through rear and front jacks but cant get microphone to work either rear of front. I am trying to get skype to work. I have a usb TeckNet camera which has a mic and this works but it is not great. I have alsa utils and tried everything in alsamixer but still no good. Here's some device info. Appreciate help please.

Ah I believe it was the mic faulty. I got another headset and after fiddling with alsamixer settings it is working fine.
