This depends upon the sound device but on the AC97 systems I have used
there are seperate controls for the recording level and the level
passed through to the speakers.
Try setting the line level to zero which controls the amount of
line-in mixed into the output. The rec control sets the input level for
the currently selected input device.
I have the following setting on one of my machines:
Mixer vol is currently set to 80:80
Mixer pcm is currently set to 80:80
Mixer line is currently set to 0:0
Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0
Mixer cd is currently set to 80:80
Mixer rec is currently set to 80:80
Recording source: mic
This mixes pcm and cd together to the output. The mic and line inputs
are not mixed into the output since their output level is 0.
The recording is from the mic source with a recording gain set by the
rec control.
