Another Monkey

I have a Dell Dimension 9200 (DXP061) with a Create eXtreme Music card. The box has a front mic jack and I can't get that to work.
In the "Sound Preferences", it shows two possible hardware sources: "Internal Audio" and "SB X-fi".
In "Input" I have multiple choices for "Connector" when "Internal Audio analog stereo is selected" ("Microphone 1/Line-In" etc) and for "SB X-Fi Analog Mono" there are none.
I have tried every combination in there, plus every combination I can think of in "alsamixer" and the microphone still does not work (I know the microphone itself is OK).
How do I get this working? What steps can I work through to figure out what's wrong?
