I was able to get recording working now with your comments, but I needed one more additional step. I had to set the Volume Control dropdown to "Capture: ALSA PCM on front:0 (STAC92xx Analog) via DMA (Pulseaudio Mixer)", untick the red 'X' to unmute, and raise the volume control level to about 75% from 0%. But now my onboard input mic is working, yay!!!
