I have a builtin Mic and also I can plug in a mic. I really don't understand why this ain't working. Out of all the people I have spoken to works flawlessly for them. And has worked fine in Fedora 10. Since Fedora 11 and switched to openSuSE 11.2, it has never worked. I don't know if KDE is the culprit or alsa. I did some google'n and all I have come up with is I might need a loopback of some kind, configuration in Alsa. The only think I'm able to do is record from those output sources but unable to play those through the speaker or headphones. The Mic In connector also or suppose to works like a line in as well..............ANY help, only CLUE would be really be nice. I don't know how to configure alsa, I just know the basic commands.
