recording audio from a microphone

[rwcitek]

make sure the "line-in" is active in Kmixer and that the input volume is up.

Here are some image captures: kmix input, Audacity record screen, Audacity preferences.

(Haven't had any trouble with my eMachines M5310 laptop)

What sound card do you have? That is, what does lspci list for your soundcard?
