Internal microphone is broken

Some time ago, whenever ALSA was last updated, apparently it broke my internal microphone on my Acer Extensa 4420.  I didn't worry about it then because I didn't need it, but now I want to use it, and it doesn't come on.  The really strange thing is that it works under Ubuntu, for reasons that I can't seem to pinpoint.  Here are the various outputs:

I can see that they're both detecting the same card, but either I'm an idiot and not seeing anything or ALSA on Arch broke my microphone.  PulseAudio doesn't fix it either, and OSS just doesn't pick it up.  I'd appreciate any help.
