Can't capture with microphone in OpenSuse 11.4
 

I can't get my microphone to work.
Masinboard is Asus M4A89 GTDPRO/USB3.
Microphone is from Lohgitech Wbcam PRo 9000 via USB.

I tried with: arecord -vv -f cd test.wav
but it doesn't seem to recordd anything.
Also in pavucontrol I get a very smal blue indicator for microphone 2.
Pulse Audio Meter:
Showing Signal Levels of Internal Audio analog Stereo
it doesn't show any signal for Front left or Fron right.

Here is the ouput of amixer:

Thanks for reading.

Hi,
here is some additional information.
I reinstalled OpenSuse 11.4 in the meantime - still can't record.
But I looked into output of alsa-info.sh now ( I saw sopme posts about microphone issues)
and I think I noticed the problem - capture is off and it should ne on.
Microphone is using card 2 (Card hw:2 'U0x46d0x809'/'USB Device 0x46d:0x809 ).
Here is the 2 parts of alsa-info.sh output:

ARECORD
