Make sure the mic is selected as the "capture" source: * Run alsamixer in a terminal. * Press F6 and select your sound card. * Press F4 to get to the capture settings. * From the available inputs, select "Mic" (left/right arrow keys) and press space to select it as the capture source. Raise the capture volume to maximum (up arrow key.) * Esc. All of this can also be done in KMix if you're on KDE.
