Thanks if you could help me,

Make sure it's the line in volume for your "recording" settings and not your "playback" settings...

Pakelika,
AVI_IO has built in VU meters which can be enabled. These are in the Capture Settings drop-down box.
If you enable these and do a sample capture, do the meters fly into the red section? I'm assuming that the incoming audio signal is too high and is being clipped. Unfortunately audio signal levels from DVD & VHS sources vary a great deal.
If you look at the following forum post, I've replied with the proceedure I use to overcome this problem.
