    It's known that the Alsa Mixer has been bad since the updates to 
FC6. I just loaded a new FC6 on my Laptop and before even attaching the 
Internet I looked at Volume Control and it's just about perfect.

    With that broken one go back to it and switch to the other mixer. 
It's even worse but you will find a mike in the right place and it will 
be tuned down and turned off :-(

    Get that fixed and it will work...sorta.
