I'm not sure if it's for the same reason, but I had the same problem with
my ens1370 (Ensoniq Audio PCI).
I solved it by turning on the microphone +5V bias.
There are 2 ways to do this -
1. Use the gamix mixer program - link on the Alsa applications page -
which has a button to turn it on.
2. Edit the file /etc/asound.conf to include the line -
switch("MIC +5V bias", true)
