As far as i know, this i correct. Mic is activated all the time. This is 
default behavior in Mac OS and also in Windows. Thats why there are switch on 
microphone to swith it of.

I am not sure what you think by break-up, but i had problem that there was hw 
mic booster on my sound card, which was accidentally switched on. Other 
problem was that alsa did additional mixing and putting input from microphone 
and input from audio player together. 
I recommend you open something like galsamixer or kmix and try to set up your 
sound card.
