Install worked great. I can hear the test call, but not my recording.
First time ever using the mic, so no telling what the problem there is.
I am on a Lenovo x120e x86_64 with Xfce.
"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.
