no mic input after upgrade

[Allen Seelye]

I upgraded from kde 3.1 to 3.2 and the first time I rebooted the system, the 
mic input no longer works. I've tried to turn it up/on using alsamixer, kamix 
and gamix but nothing there works. I've played around with asound.state and 
even deleted it to let the system rebuild it. The last thing I did was delete 
the sound card in yast, restart and re-install the sound card, still no sound 
on the mic input.
I've also noticed that form time to time arts will crash. I don't know if 
these are related or not.
I'm using SuSE 9.0 with kernel 2.4.21. The sound card is an onboard intel8x0.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
