Well, since I'm unaware of a MSN client for Linux that allowes you to 
use their voice conversation protocol, so i have to guess that you're:
* Testing the Mic in Windows and asking for support on Debian-User which 
isn't focused or generally friendly to heiping with MS issues.
* Running VMWare in Debian, which could somehow  be construed as a 
Debian user issue because the input sound isn't getting from VMWare to 
the sound  card.

Try this:

or this:

or this:
http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/debian-cd/woody-i386-1.iso

See if your sound works using those programs. We can help you better if 
you have issues with sound using the programs from the last  link, but 
the first one may be a little more user friendly.
