Same thing for me on XPS 1330. When using alsa only (disabling pulseaudio) the mic works fine (after selecting digital input source = digital mic 1 and maxing the "digital" recording level). With pulseaudio recording works but volume is too low.
Something interesting I noticed is that, when recording through pulseaudio, the volume is not affected by the "digital" level in alsamixer. You can turn digital to 0 and still record with the same (low) volume. I find this strange (for example lowering the master playback level in alsamixer lowers the volume also in pulseaudio). Maybe pulseaudio gets it's input from somewhere else and not from digital?
