I noticed a similar problem with this board back around April.  

The asus k8v-se-d is somewhat unusual in that it has only 3 stereo
jacks for 6-channels of output, 2 channels of line-in, and one channel
of mic in.  The line-in and mic-in jacks are really bi-directional and
the kernel needs to tell the low level hardware whether to configure
the jack for input or output.  I'll make a bet the audio paths are
never set up for mic-in.

I spent some time trying to dig up the programmer's docs for the VIA
VT8237 but came up empty handed.
