Is the mic muted? 'tkmixer' is quite a nice little mixer program to
check these things with.

Can you record from other sources? What about if you set the recording
source (using 'tkmixer') to be under the 'Vol' button? i.e. you're
record the mixed input rather than directly from one of the unmixed
sources?

What command are you using to record? What's the complete command
line? What's the output? If you run 'file <recorded-data-file>'
what does it say?
