Can't capture with microphone in OpenSuse 11.4


I can't get my microphone to work.
Masinboard is Asus M4A89 GTDPRO/USB3.
Microphone is from Lohgitech Wbcam PRo 9000 via USB.

I tried with: arecord -vv -f cd test.wav
but it doesn't seem to recordd anything.
Also in pavucontrol I get a very smal blue indicator for microphone 2.
Pulse Audio Meter:
Showing Signal Levels of Internal Audio analog Stereo
it doesn't show any signal for Front left or Fron right.

Here is the ouput of amixer:

Simple mixer control 'Master',0

Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 65536
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 33043 [50%] [on]

Hi,
here is some additional information.
I reinstalled OpenSuse 11.4 in the meantime - still can't record.
But I looked into output of alsa-info.sh now ( I saw sopme posts about microphone issues)
and I think I noticed the problem - capture is off and it should ne on.
Microphone is using card 2 (Card hw:2 'U0x46d0x809'/'USB Device 0x46d:0x809 ).
Here is the 2 parts of alsa-info.sh output:

ARECORD

**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: U0x46d0x809 [USB Device 0x46d:0x809], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

!!-------Mixer controls for card 2 [U0x46d0x809]

Card hw:2 'U0x46d0x809'/'USB Device 0x46d:0x809 at usb-0000:00:12.2-3, high speed'
Mixer name : 'USB Mixer'
Components : 'USB046d:0809'
Controls : 2
Simple ctrls : 1
Simple mixer control 'Mic',0
Capabilities: cvolume cvolume-joined cswitch cswitch-joined penum
Capture channels: Mono
Limits: Capture 0 - 17
Mono: Capture 14 [82%] [26.58dB] [off]
========================================
What I don't know is how to change cature to on?
