The "start a new thread" request always kills the discussion. Let's see
what happens when I make a new one out of this ...

I don't think it's fixable. This on-board card shows up in lspci as
"Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF100 High Definition Audio
Controller" and is recognised fine by alsa. Sound output of that card
works, and I can turn up the mixer settings for the microphone all I
want and there is no input whatsoever from the mic. I have another card
installed and the same mic works with the additional card, so the
problem is not the mic. It used to work before I did something with
audacious which gave me a warning that it might not be a good idea --- I
don't remember what that was. Since then, the mic input of the card is
dead and I don't use audacious anymore. Any ideas how to fix this?
