I had the same problem yesterday ie no microphone input working on my IBM lenovo t43 - i searched google - this is the solution i found - BUT THIS SHOULD WORK OUT OF THE BOX - users should not need to do all this config - here are my notes - my thanks to the person that actually gave the solution (i lost the reference though)
I run gnome-volume-control that shows the microphone and clicked on Edit/Preferences and i clicked on 1. microphone 2. microphone capture 3. capture 4. mic select AND THEN CLICK OK - AND THEN click on : - Recording TAB: make sure that the microphone icon does NOT HAVE AN X OVER IT - Options TAB: select MIC 1 (Please look around in this application if you still have problems - there may be other issues that may be biting you) Microphone works fine now.
