If "track slider" means what I think you mean then you'll need to hit
play as well. Nothing moves in ardour until you've hit play (spacebar
is a shortcut), if you've also hit record and have one or more of the
tracks set to record then (in theory :) things will move and you'll
record sound.

However, if you're not hearing anything with everything connected up
and with the record button on the track selected then there is
something else wrong. Can you describe what the connections in
qjackctl look like? (the audio tab, not the midi tab)

Can you post the output of "arecord -l" from a terminal?

(in addition to the other suggestions on this thread, checking alsamixer etc.)
