[Audio] Alsa/Pulseaudio LineIn/Microphone Issues [codec_ca0132]

Hi, i had several problem with audio with my setup. First, the default card for audio was set to my VGA Hdmi port, but i managed to fix that.
Now i have issues with the line-in recording.
Pulseaudio "recording" stream obviously isn't working. I've tried also killing pulseaudio and recording with arecord but the .wav file was mute.

I think it has to do with power management or something like that. Sometimes even the output source is mute at boot if i don't play any audio fopr around 20 minutes after boot.
Here's some useful information. Any advice is appreciated

PS: The Motherboard is a Gigabyte X170 Extreme ECC
