OK,
I am sure it is a mixer problem. I tried your advice this is the result
[pedja@ /usr/home/Pedja]$ mixer
Mixer pcm      is currently set to  45:45
Recording source:


[pedja@ /usr/home/Pedja]$ mixer igain 90 rec 90 mic 90
mixer: unknown device: igain
usage: mixer [-f device] [-s | -S] [dev [+|-][voll[:[+|-]volr]] ...
       mixer [-f device] [-s | -S] recsrc ...
       mixer [-f device] [-s | -S] {^|+|-|=}rec rdev ...
 devices: pcm
 rec devices:

 I tried as a supper user too. It makes no difference.

But the following outputs are interesting
[pedja@ /usr/home/Pedja]$ ossinfo

The native mixer is enabled in the rc.conf file

Could you give me some kind of hint any suggestions? What should I read? 
Documentation?
