On most recent things it will be the red hole.

Sounds like a mixer problem.  Mixers under ALSA can be a real bear to figure 
out.  I'm not familiar with yours, so I can't be directly helpful.

With mine (SB Live!) I have to set the "Capture Source" to "Mic" and then 
activate and crank up the "AC97 Capture" slider to capture anything from my 
microphone.

The only mixer I've found where I can actually accomplish this consistently is 
something called KAMix, which we don't even have for Debian.  I've tried 
everything, and nothing else presents the controls I need in a way that lets 
me control all of them.  It's really quite a horrible mess.
