When you record, can you monitor the mic input in alsamixer such that you can watch some gui mic volume input bar respond to your voice? Just to see if the meter is only moving a lil' bit or if it's spiking. Not very scientific, but something I would check.
Mike, I use pulse which overlays alsa. There's a tool called pavumeter but I've not seen it do anything when I speak into the microphone. On the other hand, pavucontrol's input devices tab shows sound from the mic like a VU meter would, but the input needs to be at the maximum for the input tracking to reach half-way up the scale. I'm going to ask on LQ tomorrow morning. Next weekend I'll shut down the desktop and install the new sound card I bought (along with a couple of other hardware upgrades.)
