What kind of sound card do you have?  I've got one system with an Nvidia
chipset that emulates an Intel HDA sound card.  I jumped through lots of
hoops trying to get it working.  Then, in the process of installing
openmovieeditor, I installed the gmerlin mixer.  Using that got the mic
working.  This is on an F9 64-bit system with pulseaudio running.
