Mmm, the above error looks more close to be related with image than 
sound :-?

Have you tried your microphone from Gnome sound recorder or another 
application (arecord)? How about running "alsamixer" (or your DE sound 
applet) to be sure the "capture/input/mic" source control is at a high 
level and not muted/lowered?
