What I was actually getting at was that you may need to pass a parameter to 
the snd_hda_intel module to enable the correct mixing configuration, which 
might enable the sound recording to work properly. It looks like you do not 
have any options setup, so you could try adding the following line to the end 
of /etc/modules.d/alsa-base:

options snd-hda-intel model=asus

and then reboot. There are several model strings you could try as detailed 
here:

Not that it is important since the correct sound modules are loading, but I 
believe the kernel has lists of the PCI and other IDs for various hardware 
and automatically loads corresponding modules when it sees matching hardware.
