If you're having trouble getting your audio input to work in programs like sound-recorder or Skype, it may just be because Ubuntu ships with the necessary options disabled and hidden away in hard-to-find places. Here's what you do to get it going:

1. From the command line, run gnome-volume-control

2. Choose Edit -> Preferences

3. Scroll to the bottom and check Capture

4. Close the dialog

5. Click the new Capture tab in the gnome-volume-control window

6. Click the microphone and speaker icons at the bottom to remove the red X's

7. Move the volume sliders up to their maximum setting
