it is. but that's the playback setting. this controls how loud you hear
the stuff you speak into your microphone.
take a look at alsamixer. usually it lists only the playback sliders,
which also hold the mic and mic boost settings. but those are for
playback.
when you press tab, then alsamixer switches to the capture sliders and
this has another mic slider and some additional sliders to control the
volume of pcm for example too, but this is what other people hear.
and this is the part, that is not configurable with xfce4-mixer at all!
you can only control the volume of the stuff _you_ hear, not the volume
of devices that are captured.
