and make sure "Digital" (under alsa's capture tab) is also enabled, you'll
need that to get any of the Captures to work.

I find the best result is having mic boost off and setting the Capture (and
Digial) volume to around 70, above 90 the sound start to distortionate
horribly.

btw im on a T60 with kernel 2.6.28.
