Skype @ Eee PC 1001 HA and *Ubuntu: everything works except the microphone.

This is exactly the direction I am looking to. I am wondering how to
select and activate the mike I am using. By the way, both the headset
and the in-built sound devices deliver the same results: everything
works, except the microphone. In other words: how can I adjust my
sound recording settings? I try to adjust them via Alsamixer, but this
does not work so far.

This is exactly what I try to do via Alsamixer and also via KMix. But
neither method works so far. Does anybody have a clue on how to
effectively adjust the sound recording settings at Kubuntu 10.10?

Respectfully yours,
Bas.
