internal mic does not work

[amjjawad ]

Running Ubuntu 11.10 32bit from LiveCD and trying to record something from the internal mic of Lenovo G570 Core i5 Laptop but it does not seem to work. I have tried to play with the settings but it's not there.

I'm actually doing System Testing and found out about the internal mic.
