since yesterday: no sound :-(

[Michael Renner]

Moin,

I don;t know what I have done (wrong), but I can not record from the microphne 
device since yesterday.

I use kubuntu lucid at an i386 with ALSA. Playback works fine, and I can hear 
the microphone sound from the speaker (as long as the microphone cannel is not 
muted). But  neither with audacity, nor with xosope (or any other application) 
the microphone sound is available.

With xmix, the microphne is selected as the recording device, amixer show this 
output:
