On most recent things it will be the red hole.

Sounds like a mixer problem. Mixers under ALSA can be a real bear to figure
out. I'm not familiar with yours, so I can't be directly helpful.
With mine (SB Live!) I have to set the "Capture Source" to "Mic" and then
activate and crank up the "AC97 Capture" slider to capture anything from my
microphone.
The only mixer I've found where I can actually accomplish this consistently is
something called KAMix, which we don't even have for Debian. I've tried
everything, and nothing else presents the controls I need in a way that lets
me control all of them. It's really quite a horrible mess.
