Voice chat in ut2k4 won't work [not solved yet]

Question

I have already tried the following resources:
http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfs … ticleid=34
http://www.thehaus.net/Tips/UT/ut2004icculusfaq.shtml
my ~/.openalrc:
Contains user settings for OpenAL
; Which backend? Tried in order of appearance.
;(define devices '(native alsa sdl esd arts null))
(define devices '(alsa sdl esd))
; Four speaker surround with ALSA.
(define speaker-num 2)
;(define alsa-out-device "surround40:0,0")
(define alsa-out-device "hw:0,0")
; For alsa-in support. Mainly for using voice chat.
(define alsa-in-device "hw:1,0")
;hw:1,0 because i use my second sound card to record on many programs (ie audacity) bc emu10k1 only records the sound out not mic.
; Some drivers do not support select.
;(define native-use-select ;t)
symptoms:
sound works great, clear and not laggy at all. i have all the voice chat keys  mapped and all the good voice chat options enabled. everytime i press a key that chats, either teamchat or public-chat the sound gets sort quiet (like it's supposed to, to avoid feedback). the problem is nobody hears me at all, not even a "turn up you volume dude!" or "what was that?!"

this is what i see on "alsamixer -V capture" i turned on the mic capture and encreased it's volume. still the same syptoms persist in any recording app set to use the audigy gamer. no matter where i plug in the mic the app only records the outgoing sounds from the sound servers and apps but never the mic.
btw: on all distros my kmix has never had anything in the input tab, (no record sources) when you click mixer in the tray of kde.
