Run Applications -> Preferences -> More Preferences -> Multimedia 
Systems Selector

For the "Default Source" for "Input" select "OSS - Open Sound System".

Anyway that worked for me on an IBM Thinkpad T30. See if it works for 
you. The menu selection was under Gnome. Dunno about KDE. Same situation 
with me. Under the original setting of everything ALSA, could not record 
audio on my mic. Switching to OSS for input worked.

Hope this helps.
