Aha, thanks--I do think I've found a solid limb on the troubleshooting tree . . 
. I had fired up QAMix before, just looking for levels to adjust or mutes to 
unmute, but now that you said "combo box" and I just have a big blank space 
where apparently it should be, I'm thinking something's definitely odd.  I.e., 
if my QAMix "Capture" tab is supposed to look anything like it does here 
http://www.suse.de/~mana/kalsatools.html then I need to reinstall QAMix or 
reconfigure whatever QAMix looks to in order to populate the "Capture" tab with 
appropriate controls, 'cause all I have are (1) 2 vertical sliders with green 
fields for numbers above them, (2) 2 "Lock" checkboxes, with the labels 
"Capture" and "Active," and (3) 2 checkboxes without any label, roughly 
centered under the vertical sliders. (All those checkboxes are checked, & 
sliders are at 50%.)  To the right of that, the "Capture" tab is just blank, as 
opposed to having the 3 combo boxes I see in the link above. QAMix is showing 
version 0.0.7 and "HDA-Intel" at the top, and under the "Soundcard" menu item 
it shows "HDA-Intel (hw:0)."  (But I just can't have an outdated version; this 
is a fresh install. :] )  

So, I'm reckoning you're right on as to the setting that needs to be changed; 
any thoughts on where to go from here, to make it present itself for alteration?
