Thanks a lot, that was the solution.

In alsamixer I pressed F4 to reach the "[Capture]" settings. At "Mic" the red
"CAPTUR" text was there. What was missing is that at "Capture" the red "CAPTUR"
text was not there. I had to navigate to "Capture" and press the SPACE bar. I
also had to increase the level of "Capture" with the up/down arrows.

What I recognised that in KMix 2.6.1 (KDE 3.5.8) there is a "Capture" level
adjuster, but its level is not connected with the "Capture" level in AlsaMixer
v1.0.16. But maybe that's a KMix problem.

Thanks again,
