Very low sound through Line in

[SonKun]

I am having a problem when I use line in. I get very very low sound. And when I capture I hear a buzzing noise from the sound being amplified. How can I fix this?

[SonKun]

But I can capture regularly when I use my microphone input. But the only thing is I get a vibrating noise from that. Because its not realy meant to do that. However I dont get that from line in. Its just that it captures WAY to low. Infact it picks the sound up realy low. The sound analizer thing shows the sound realy low to. But wen I use the microphone. It shows the audio realy high.

onboard soundcards are not adapt with capture cards. Suggest buying a PCI sound card. I had your problem until I bought a Sound Blaster Live sound card and it fixed my problem. Good luck

Have you set the level of your line in?

[SonKun]

????? I think so. In sound properties. I put the line-in bar all the way up.

Does any1 know why this might be happening?

Go here http://www.vcdhelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=110196 and scroll to the bottom then read what I said about 'ground loop isolator'. Then search google for 'ground loop isolator'. That is probably what you need to fix the buzzing noise, and then you can turn it all the way up without worrying about it.
