From your first post, taking a look at your alsamixer screenshot, looks like you're capturing sound from S/PDIF, I don't think that's where you want to capture sound from...

In capture mode (F4) of alsamixer, use the left/right arrow keys to highlight "Capture" then press spacebar. You should now see CAPTURE in red written above it. You can do the same for Capture 1 if the previous doesn't succeed.

I've already tried that, it didn't work :(
