Assumeing you are using ALSA for sound, open the alsamixder and make sure 
your settings are still correct, specificly for capture if you are using 
audio capture for recordings. I'm guessing that you've lost audio on record, 
not playback.

I've found that every once in a while, alsa seems to reset the capture audio 
settings and volume to default. I'm guessing this has something to do with 
yum/updates, but haven't tracked it yet. 

Anyone know if there is an explicily way to save an alsamixer profile and 
reload it ?
