Are you referring to the line in playback control (F3 in alsamixer) or the line in capture control (F4 in alsamixer)? Line in playback control should affect the volume delivered to the output of the soundcard; line in capture should affect the volume of the signal delivered to the computer. Many mixer apps (kmix is the worst offender) cannot distinguish these. Lee ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
