well let me know when you run alsamixer and you press F4 to see the captured devices let us know it they are actually set.
if running kde then test it through the settings manager under multimedia.
You're lucky to have a T60. It can record from source mix in the capture device and record whats being played
Anyway just starting alsamixer and setting mic to max in playback you should hear yourself typing (and press m to start mic)
in capture it's probably mic as capture by default. If you change to mix it can record from ffmpeg for example youtube clips

Check that you actually enabled the Capture device by pressing space in alsamixer when under the Capture volume-bars. See also: alsa.opensrc.org/Record_from_mic
