I notice in your alsa-info.sh output that the mic playback switch is false
1. control.18 {
2. comment.access 'read write'
3. comment.type BOOLEAN
4. comment.count 2
5. iface MIXER
6. name 'Mic Playback Switch'
7. value.0 false
8. value.1 false
9. }
while your front mic playback switch is true.
1. control.21 {
2. comment.access 'read write'
3. comment.type BOOLEAN
4. comment.count 2
5. iface MIXER
6. name 'Front Mic Playback Switch'
7. value.0 true
8. value.1 true
9. }
So I assume you are using the front mic to record because you can hear
your breathing while trying to record.
What happens if you use arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D front mic
test.wav ?
What happens with the same command if you turn off front mic playback
switch ?
Everything looks fine as far as I can tell. But I'm no expert.
