Hi,
What's the most simple way to check if my microphone works on a plain CentOS 5.3 desktop? Is there a simple way, for example, to record voice into a simple .wav file?

this guy put together a short and sweet tut on how to do this from a terminal, I know it works because i tried it here as well.

A somewhat late thank you for this useful link. Now my microphone is working nicely with CentOS, and I can even record sound with Audacity.
One trouble, though. I can't seem to get the microphone to work with Skype. Since there seem to be no more RPMS for RHEL, I downloaded and installed the static version. I can hear the sound of the test voice, but I can't record a message on the audio test interface.
Any clues about that?

No, but you are not alone. :-) This is something I will try to get working, again, after I finish SEO work for my web sites. There are people on the list who have Skype working on CentOS, so probably it is a matter of correct configuration of one or more things. GL!

FWIW, My mic works OK during a Skype conversation, however I am unable to replay myself with the audio test interface.

Eduardo: That is *very* interesting. I never heard myself on the playback, from the Skype test call service, so I always assumed it is not working. I will try it again, with a regular call and see if they can hear me. OT: I met a woman from Neuquen, on the beach, on Isla Mujeres, Mexico, in 1991 (?)..... Saludos desde Cali, Colombia. Lanny

Have you checked Skype's own options for sound? (Under Options > Sound Devices.)
I use Skype 2.0.0.72 with CentOS 5.3, so it's possible.

Yes, every possibility. No microphone. But judging from various forum postings, this seems rather common.
Since every other app seems to work OK with the microphone, I'm just trying to persuade folks on the "other side" to use Ekiga :o)
Cheers,
Niki
