If it's anything like the A22p, the configuration is indeed stupid.
See: http://www.richardneill.org/a22p-mdk11-0.php#sound

or try running:

amixer sset 'Mic Boost (+20dB)' on	#Enable the Mic boost
amixer sset 'Mic' mute			#Mute the Mic
amixer sset 'Mic' cap			#Set the Recording source to Mic
amixer sset 'Capture' cap		#Set the Capture device to record
amixer sset 'ADC' cap			#Set the ADC to record


HTH,

Richard
