It is possible to fix this by manipulating alsamixer's "Input Source" value.
Or, you can also try the following commands by hand:

amixer sset "Input Source" "Front Mic"
amixer sset "Capture" 100% cap unmute
amixer sset "Front Mic" 100% mute
amixer sset "Front Mic Boost" 66% unmute

That "mute" command just mutes the output of the Front Mic from playing
through the speakers. Without it you'll get major feedback. It doesn't
mute the recording.

I'm working on applying this setup to the eeepc-config package.

Status in Ubuntu Eee: Confirmed

Bug description:
Only by adding 

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base I am able to get hear my self through the mic, 
but I'm not able to record any of it using the "Sound Recorder" application.

Searching though online shows me others have same problem, so if I've overlooked the bug report, my apologies.

Using latest and fully updated Ubuntu Eee Release.
