Firstly, you need a newer alsa-driver. You should try installing linux-
backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic and rebooting.

Secondly, please note that setting Capture to max is insufficient
according to your amixer output:

Simple mixer control 'Front Mic Boost',0
  Capabilities: volume
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: 0 - 3
  Front Left: 0 [0%]
  Front Right: 0 [0%]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is zeroed; please raise it.


Simple mixer control 'Capture',0
  Capabilities: cvolume cswitch
  Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Capture 0 - 46
  Front Left: Capture 0 [0%] [-17.00dB] [off]
  Front Right: Capture 0 [0%] [-17.00dB] [off]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Notice this is muted *and* 
zeroed. You should set it 'cap' as well as raising it.
