sound capture on Fedora 7

[Andrew Wood]

Hi,

Recently I've installed Audacity to edit audio captured from my 
mini-disk. The sound card I have is based on a C-Media CMI8738 chipset. 
There's only one mic socket on the card so I thought this would be a 
doddle to sample. When it didn't work I thought it was the card so I 
swapped it for another similar card/chipset.

There is absolutely no sound detectable coming from the mic. The drivers 
I'm using are the standard ones which are provided with Fedora 7.

A look at the Audacity wiki, and the ALSA wiki has provided no clue as 
to what the problem or fix could be. Any suggestions?
