This as been discussed several times bro...

There must be a software mixer 4 yer soundcard, somewhere in there u'll find the input level... some sondcards namelly SoundB do this thru a 2nd mixer view .. try clicking on the top left simbol of your mixer windows, there should b some option 2 view the record mixer or the input view or something similar.
I'm almost sure U'll find that the input level on the line in is low, so u'll need 2 turn it up!

PS - make sure u r using the line in and not the Mic In.

crank the mixer gains till you see lots of red , then add just a little bit after that

lol.. u crazy cat...

That will work but then will b absolute sh***. also if the prob is the one I noticed back in my answer then not even that will work.

U could always use a normalizer at the end of the recording on any sound editor but u'll probably have lots of noise... as yer average rec level is way 2 close 2 yer mixer's and soundcard's noise floor!

So get that rec level as high as possible with no distortion !
