microphone not recording

[Marcelo M. Garcia]

Hi.

I have been trying to get my mic work with Skype and Fedora 9. Skype 
only works when the device in "Sound In" is set to "ICH6,0", not the 
"Default Device (default)". The test call works, but I cannot hear my voice.

The default (System-> preferences-> Hardware-> sound-> Sound Capture) is 
set to ALSA. The default mixer is "Intel ICH6 (Alsa mixer)".

I tried to use the "Sound Recorder" tool to see if the mic was working, 
but when I try to use, the file is saved, but again no sound.

I think the problem could be in permission to the device. Which one?
/dev/dsp?

Thanks

Marcelo
