Well, the output of amixer is attached.

It was a bit surprise for me, that when I tried to record something,
my microphone was not working too. Fortunately, I was able to set the
mixer so that the microphone works now:)

I think the important things are setting the "Digital" and "MUX" controls.
It is a good idea to tune this settings for better record.
Probably there are more things, which are significant for recording. Just
look to my mixer settings.

I read somwhere, that it would be necessary to switch between "Line" and
"Mic"
as input source on startup. Well, I am not sure, if the _hack_ is
necessary,
because, when trying to setup correctly the mixer, I switched it. And I
don't
want to restart my computer now to test if it is really necessary.

I used arecord/aplay

Well, I don't know, what you are writing about:-)
