I think you have to configure your .asoundrc to use your mic as default with your output device.
Right now you have your default to use just card0 which is separate from your mic on card1.
So you would edit your .asoundrc with sudo nano ~/.asoundrc
I think something like this would work:
pcm!.default { type asym playback.pcm "hw:0,0" capture.pcm "hw:1,0" }
There's more info on how to setup asound here.
I am by no means an expert so if this doesn't work I just may have something I missed. Hopefully this gets you started in the right direction.
You may have to set up a dmix plugin and a dsnoop plugin and run them with asym.
Good luck, I know it took me a while to finally get it working!
