Are you trying to make input work with pulseaudio in your system? I have never 
gotten a mic to work without removing it, and after trying 14-15 methods 
suggested in various places I have have intention of trying again.

Other wise you should see the mic on alsamixer.

yum erase PulseAudio\*  ;-)

Agree, I still have one FC6 system I use when I need mic, and a laptop running 
FC4 for the same reason. It seems that it either works or doesn't, for no given 
reason, and no one really knows why, so they assume you're missing something.
