You stated that it work in the ofw selftest so your hardware appears good.

Run alsamixer from the command like and take a look at what the various 
settings are.  Make sure the mic is unmuted and that the record levels 
are set properly and the v_refout is enabled (unmuted) and DC Mode disabled.

When using alsamixer make sure you switch to the "capture" settings with 
the tab key to see the mic record level.  In "playback" the "mic" 
control is not the microphone record control its the analog mixer 
control which is the level of mic input thats routed back the the 
speaker output.  Muted and zero is the proper setting for that control.
