Asus Strix SOAR - No mic?

[wolfgentleman]

So I just bought my fancy new $100 audio card and....... no mic via PulseAudio... It does, however, show in Alsa. So I added a LoadModule line to default.pa... Well, now it shows up and works, but... at -5000% volume. To even begin hearing it I have to put it at 153% volume, but to actually hear I have to use (literally) 5000% volume by using pactl command. At 5000% volume it is the equivalent of a 50 cent mic on a 10 cent audio card picked up at a garage sale 20 years ago. Is there a way to "properly" add support for the mic on this audio card?

I hate bumping just as much as the next guy, but.... it's been over a month without replies.
