Open a terminal. If you don't know how to open a terminal, read from here on:

From the Applications ribbon bar menu, select Accessories and pull the highlighter to Terminal.


at the command prompt type:

aslamixer

use the cursor keys to move to the mic positon (towards the right end of the mixer panel), check that the mic is on and the necessary volumes are high enough.

ctrl-q to exit.

If you don't know what ctrl-q is

hold down the Ctrl key and at the same time, press the q key.

I had to double click on the volume indicator, then choose edit -> preferences, turn on 'front' and 'surround' - that's what it is for my two jacks I believe.
