Andrew, I use a bunch of 410's and they are great cards and have great sound, with a few things to be aware of.
As you've discovered, you'll need to get a mic pre-amp if you're using a mic on your input. The envy24 control is your best friend. Get to know it. If you need an extra breakout cable they can be made quite easily. It is just a standard 25 pin connector and the pinout can be found with some googling. All of the ones I have (I've got something like 5 of them) have a bug where every so often after a reboot they'll end up with all the input and output levels at 0, even if the level indicators in envy24 are showing that levels on channels are up. This happens even if you've done the alsactl store command. When this happens the way to fix it is to go into envy24 and run the levels down / up on the analog volume tab. *or* envy24 control has an option when it gets run from the command line to load up a particular preset profile. I suggest that you run this as part of your startup, as this software seems to be able to set the levels properly whereas ALSA seems to sometimes have issues. Otherwise the cards just plain work.
