So you've spent - just like me - hours browsing the forums, reading that you have to turn on the damn capture volume bar in alsamixer, and noone listens when you say that there is no damn Mic Capture or PCM Capture?
In alsamixer, press TAB. or F4.

What hardware do you have? this obviously doesn't apply to everything because neither of those keys do anything in my alsamixer.

I have a soundblaster audigy, and am using alsamixer 1.0.8. Read the manpage, the last section is about keyboard controls...
You may also want to try
| Code: | | alsamixer -V capture |

I'm sorry Mirko, I didn't mean to imply that I had a problem.. I was just expecting that key to toggle something, show/hide or whatever. Since it didn't, I thought it must be hardware specific. Perhaps though I just have an old version of alsamixer, because I did check the man page and there's no mention

General Controls
The Left and right arrow keys are used to select the channel (or device,
depending on your preferred terminology). You can also use n ("next") and p
("previous").
The Up and Down Arrows control the volume for the currently selected device.
You can also use + or - for the same purpose. Both the left and right signals
are affected. For independent left and right control, see below.
The B or = key adjusts the balance of volumes on left and right channels.
M toggles muting for the current channel (both left and right). You can mute
left and right independently by using , (or <) and . (or >) respectively.
SPACE toggles recording: the current channel will be added or removed from
the sources used for recording. This only works for valid input channels, of
course. You can toggle left and right independently by using Insert (or 
and Delete (or ') respectively.
L re-draws the screen.
Quick Volume Changes
PageUp increases volume by 5.
PageDown decreases volume by 5.
End sets volume to 0.
You can also control left & right levels for the current channel indepen-
dently, as follows:
[Q | W | E ] -- turn UP [ left | both | right ]
[Z | X | C ] -- turn DOWN [ left | both | right ]
If the currently selected mixer channel is not a stereo channel, then all UP
keys will work like W, and all DOWN keys will work like X.
Exiting
Quit the program with ALT Q, or by hitting ESC. Please note that you might

As I said, I have 1.0.8.
Right under the section you posted ("General Controls"), there should be "View Mode Controls":
| Code: |
View Mode Controls
Function keys are used to change view modes. You can switch to the
help mode and the proc info mode via F1 and F2 keys, respectively. On
terminals that can't use funtion keys like gnome-terminal, ? and / keys
can be used alternatively for help and proc modes.
F3, F4 and F5 keys are used to switch to playback, capture and all view
mode, respectively. TAB key toggles the current view mode circularly.
