Hi Andrew, When you say talk doesn't work - what symptoms are you seeing? Is it that you're not seeing any VU activity/sound when you talk/tap the mic? Does the mic work with other apps (e.g Ekiga/Skype). Is it being selected as ALSA or OSS in the Options..->audio settings panel? What name does it come up as?
If RAT is recognising the card it is finding suitable inputs and outputs - however some of these cards have a complex array of inputs, outputs, and settings which can interfere with getting sound into and out of RAT (and other apps). As Doug suggested - I would recommend that you try playing with the ALSA mixer - console app 'alsamixer' (use TAB to switch between playback/capture settings) - and/or the gnome/kDE mixer and see if any of the settings on the card make a difference. Also check that the mic input is being selected for capture (although on some cards there is not an option to select capture status - instead it just controlled by the mic's 'capture' input slider).
