Recording does not work in Ubuntu

[rohshall]

I used the system test utility and generated the xml file that describes the configuration.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:
1. Is this reproducible?
2. If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug? Be as detailed as possible.
This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

Yes, it is reproducible.
When you have a newly installed Ubuntu, you can run the System -> Administration -> System Testing and see that the mic test fails because you cannot hear what you recorded. Of course, you can run any sound recording program and verify it also.
I am not facing this problem now; but I am sorry to say that I don't know how the problem got resolved.

I found out the problem. By default, the mic input is muted. I don't know whether it is a bug or a deliberate choice to save power. if it is trivial, feel free to close the bug.
