I had the same problem. You may need to use the IGain setting to boost the input off the zero mark.

Unfortunately, for me this lead to an apparent cyclical overloading effect that made the input sound exactly like a good old-fashioned guitar amp tremolo. Perfect, except when you don't want it. This is with a Creative Labs Audigy card. I'm hoping ALSA 0.9.2 and the use of jack "heals" my woes.
