I found that would happen if one has the input level set too high in pavcontrol. What is shown in audacity doesn't appear to reflect the settings in audacity.
I have pavcontrol set to 40%~45% and it sounds fine. Well, except for the fact that the laptop is old and the mic is "substandard" and not well isolated as it picks up fan vibrations.
I now have the mic set to the proper setting in pavuontrol, but when I test it in audacity, I see no evidence that it's being picked up and trying to play back what I "recorded" gives nothing but silence.
