Right click on the Volume Icon in the traybar, click Recording devices, say something to the laptop mic, so you can see the bar moving and see which mic is the laptop one.
Now, right click the laptop mic, press Properties and rename it "Laptop mic" for future use (You can also rename the external port too), and press OK. Right click the "Laptop mic" icon now, and select it to be Default Device, and Default Communication Device.
Now, open Skype, go to Tools -> Options -> Audio Settings, and in the Microphone drop-down menu, select Laptop mic.
(Yes, you can go to Skype, and select the other microphone without setting the laptop mic as default, but on the next restart Skype would set the external jack as it's recording device.)

It doesn't allow me to set as default...any ideas?
Maybe the device is disabled. If it is, try enabling it first.
it doesn't allow me to press set as a communication device even when its disabled
Try reinstalling the drivers, maybe that will help. I haven't really met this problem so far.
In the Recording Tab, I only have one microphone. What do I do?
