As long as the "Center/LFE Jack as Mic" switch is set, recording will
come from the shared Center/LFE/Mic jack.  When you disable this
switch, recording will come from Mic1/2, assuming that you use an
input jack that is connected to the Mic1/Mic2 pins of the AD1985 chip.
(I don't know if anything is connected to these pins.)
