convinced it's not an audacity problem - I'm just using that program
because it has a stereo visual sound meter. My experience with Skype
with a mic plugged in was similar - very noisy and sound only on left.
Right channel seems completely dead. Playback is perfect.
If other applications show similar symptoms, it looks more like a driver
problem. A quick Google search reveals that ALC883 (at least) is known for
causing problems.
Interestingly alsamixer in a terminal _does_ recognise the chip as
Realtek ALC888, whereas Fedora soundcard detection only offered me
ALC883. So despite my worry in an earlier post maybe the driver isn't
confused after all - just buggy?
Might be worth a try to ask on one of the ALSA Project mailing-lists:

It's likely you will be asked for the audio related output of
"lspci -v".
