Some updates to prevent some confusion, in alsamixer the element is 
called "capture" not "mic" the view mode should be "all" or "capture" to 
see the element, you can hit the "tab" key to change the view mode, or 
press "h" to get help showed˙

As an example to get audio working on a asus eeepc i created these 
commands to automatically set the alsamixer levels:

amixer set 'PCM' 90%
amixer set 'Line-Out' 90%
amixer set 'Line-Out' unmute
amixer set 'Capture' 90%
amixer set 'Capture' uncap
amixer set 'Digital' 90%
amixer set 'Input Source' 'i-Mic'
amixer set 'e-Mic' 70%
amixer set 'e-Mic' mute
amixer set 'e-Mic Boost' 33%
amixer set 'i-Mic' 70%
amixer set 'i-Mic' mute
amixer set 'i-Mic Boost' 33%
amixer set 'iSpeaker' unmute

Best regards,
