My pleasure, Dave. It seems that "IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA" controls SPDIF
digital sockets [1]. It is enabled and set to 100 on my system through
amixer/alsamixer but not through the Gnome GUI tool. It seems unlikely that this
should affect the analogue capture mic socket though. It's a strange world.

Glad you got it working :).
