Audacity Forum

I tried two decent receivers Yamaha & NAD on different sources. Both were too loud so I think it is the sound card. It is the first time I have used Audicity on this computer. It wasn't like this on my older machine.

I am using a HP desktop with the Beats audio sound card. Windows 7

I have a receiver's tape line out feeding my computer's line in. When I try to get the recording volume set, I have to set the input volume to about 0 to have a -6dB peak. Any ideas?
