Probably you don't have Windows set up to record from the mic. Open the
volume applet, go to 'options,' then 'properties,' and select 'recording'
where it says 'adjust volume for.' It's also a good idea to check all the
boxes under 'show the following volume controls.' OK out of there, mute
everything but the mic, kick its volume up, and try again.

I quess that you are working with a PC based syste,

Check your soundcard mixer settings.
Generally PC soundcards have two sets of mixer settings:
one selects what yyou hear on sound output (what you near now on
your headphones) and other set selects the recording sound source
(you shoud select here the mic input).
