There is a bug filed by me on the Alasa Mixer in FC6 and F7. The thing 
we now have is not good. But bring up System - Preferances- Personal - 
Volume Control and it will show you a microphone and it might be turned 
off. Or you might have a second OSS mixer and if so it WILL be turned 
off. Turn on the mike and you will be in business.
