I've Hercules Fortissimo II record sound from my MIC. Microphone works as when I choose microphone as the recording source from alsamixer I can hear sound thru the loudspeakers. Problem is that I can't record this sound. Gnome-sound-recorder just hangs on recording or produces a file of 4 bytes. Arecord also hangs and produces the same kind of 4b file even when going to INIT 1. Needless to say nor SKYPE or WENGO works.
So then I installed the SOX package and tried to record with 'REC' which comes with the package and with it it works. It clearly records everything I say into the MIC.
So afterwards I compiled latest ALSA-utils-libs-drivers 1.0.12, thinking there must be a problem with ALSA since it works with SOX but I still have the same problems.
In alsamixer I've set the following 3 channels to "capture": MIC, CAPTURE, and ADC and of course I had to unmute and set levels. As per this guide:
