    you would need to give more information.
    1) audio card - use 'lspci' to find it
    2) are you using arts , whats the output of ps -ef |grep art

    try alsamixer , is the mic mute maybe ? (use tab to jump screens)

    to test if you mic is really working use arecord
    and aplay to playback.

    arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav foobar.wav
    aplay foobar.wav

    if that works then your audio is fundamentally ok
    if not, you have a lowlevel proble,. perhaps modules etc.
    Anyway need more info to help.
