Please note - this is not expert opinion, merely comments comparing your
settings and mine for certain significant sections. You should look
carefully at the comments, then decide how much to try altering. My advice
would be to make a backup of /etc/asound.state before you edit anything so
that you can always get back to where you are now.

I'd leave that alone.

Mine has 'value 11' - probably not important until you try to enable it (see
control.11).

This seems to set the capture device as Mic but...
