"sudo yum -y install pavucontrol", then run it:
Applications Menu->Multimedia->PulseAudio Volume Control
Click on the "Input Devices" tab and you can select your input device
(and see a quasi-VU meter showing incoming levels). Just keep selecting
different ports and tapping the mic until you see the meter jump.
I have this nice little Asus eePC that is 32 bit. I use it for testing
OSs and such. So I just brought it up to date, and used lpf-skype for
the install process and all set. Called my contact for a test and good
to go for monday.
Thanks for the help. Some other time I will figure out the mic on this
Lenovo.
