have you checked if your sound card's IGain is muted or set to a very low
level? Here I can set "Line" as capture device but the recording level is
determined only by the setting of "IGain". These things may differ from
card to card though, so I'd recommend to use alsamixer or the gui-mixer of
your choice to check the settings of the other mixer lines.
