Dell disabled realtime mic monitoring in their driver so that support wouldn't have to deal with people complaining about feedback. Somewhere in this forum there is a posting describing a registry setting you can modify to enable a mic volume bar in the playback screen of the volume control. If you cannot find that post (I'm a bit short of time right now, will try to find it later), you can use a different AC97 driver, which should enable this function, I use the generic Intel AC97 driver supplied with WinXP.
Here is the Registry Info, look about halfway down the page:
