I have a Dell Vostro 1310 here with ALC268 and was suffering from the same problem. Installing the 2.6.27 kernel from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/pub/next/2.6.27-rc3/hardy/ has fixed the problem.
However, the recording volume still has to be set up to record without overloaded sound - on Recording tab mute off the Capture 1, set Capture to 50% and Digital to ~70%. You can experiment with this a bit to make the recording as loud as possible. Most importantly, on Options tab set the first Input Source to Mic, not Front Mic.

Please be aware that installing the 2.6.27 under Hardy may cause some other problems, so be patient and rather wait for Interpix that features this kernel version.
