Actually line and the like are output faders only on the ac97 design; input gain is the one you tweak. Basically signals go to input gain then the input mux; then through the output faders line mic etc then to the output mux. If you capture the output mux the line settings take affect on record but if you capture line you need to modify input gain. I think an input gain of 7 equates to 0db gain whereas input gain of zero equates to -20.0db or somesuch.
