I can't check now but it happened to me as well.

In "alsamixer -c 0" or Kmix, you have to set the capture volume and then select the mic as capture 
source (for me the default was CD).

This is something you might want to try

arecord -D pulse -c 1 -r 8000 -f S16_LE - | aplay -D pulse -c 1 -r 8000 -f S16_LE -

You want to keep the mic mute since you don't want direct link between mic and speakers.
The pulse audio control is just a small part of all the settings, the mixer is compulsory.
