The port you think is a mic port is actually a line in, and therefor needs a powered mic. I am assuming you're trying to use one of those cheap ones that comes with PCs? You will either need to buy an amplifier to use it, but I can't see spending that kind of money to get a low quality mic to work so go buy yourself a USB mic.
