OK, so it is not the fault of skype.

OK, that does not sound like you have an over-amplification problem.

Have you tried all other controls? I have seen some counterintuitive (to
me at least) interactions between ALSA controls for various cards.
Unfortunately I have no experience with the ICH7 chipset, therefore I
cannot make any specific suggestions to you.
Otherwise you might have to look at the documentation of the Intel sound
module(s) and try some of the listed workarounds. They normally involve
unloading the module and mobprobing it again with special parameters.
You can install the linux-doc-* package for your running kernel and go
to the /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.18/Documentation/sound/alsa
directory. ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz lists a lot of things to try.
(The Documentation/sound/alsa directory is also included in the kernel
sources.)
