Socket for the microphone on the laptop is defective. Which alternatives?

A few days ago my microphone suddenly stopped responding in the TeamSpeak, Skype etc and I thought for the first time that the microphone itself was broken by my new headset. I then noticed that I have to put the sensitivity down in the various programs down and the micro reacted again, but I was told that I was very dull and quiet. With other devices, however, there was not this problem and the problem must ultimately s. The jack on the laptop are (think I) and now I'm looking for alternatives as I can still use my headset. Currently I use a webcam via USB as a micro, but since the sound is also very modest.

I've already seen that there are adapters for headsets on USB. Would have to work then or?

USB soundcard sticks cost about 10 euro and usually have even better sound quality than the onboard sound.

That's true.
