<<<the mic input level meter indicates max>>>

Can we assume you mean the red Audacity recording meters bounce when you speak, but after you press Record and Stop, you don't get a recording--you don't get the green meters bouncing? That's important. The fact that you can't hear it is a different problem.

hi
when i hit the mic meter ,instead of as usual folowing the sound input,it fills up all the way and ignores any sound.
the audio track is flatline when i record.playbacks no sound either..but it does playback other stuff ive recorded before these troubles.so it seems to be definatly a sound input problem.not playback.

You may have a hardware problem with either the mic or the mic input (giving you a DC voltage on the input instead of an audio signal). Is it possible for you to try recording with a different input source and a different input socket? (for example using a tape player into the "line in").
