I am using KDE 4.9.2 on Kubuntu 12.04. I have a problem with the mic where I can hear my voice on the speakers but cant seem to record anything (tried ffmpeg and audacity)

The Code which I used for recording in ffmpeg
Code:
ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1366x768 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -threads 0 output.mkv
