Two suggestions.  First, run alsamixer from a terminal.  I think you get a 
much clearer picture of what's there than in the gui.  Use keyboard arrows to 
navigate, up and down to increase/decrease settings and M to mute or unmute 
(if such a word exists ).

Second - you may get some useful info by running 'cat /etc/asound.state'.

I hadn't actually tried recording in FC6 until I read this.  I had got sound 
working in ekiga, but that's as far as I had got.  I've just fired up 
audacity and set it to record.  While I was recording the sound came out of 
the speakers, so presumably I'd have to adjust some setting if I didn't want 
that to happen.  At the end, though, the sound played back perfectly, so it's 
obviously working correctly.
