LP and Tape Assistant recording level control fails when capturing

[rcharbon]

When I'm capturing audio from line in on my sound card using the LP and Tape Assistant, the recording level controls, the "Auto" level set button, and the balance control have no effect on the recording levels. I have to open the Windows Sound control panel and set the recording levels from there. Any idea why the controls in Roxio fail?

 

Also, my turntable has a switchable integrated pre-amp, so I can run it right into my line in jack. The level coming in from my turntable is very high when the pre-amp is on (it's unusable when the amp is off), so I have to make very finicky adjustments at the bottom of the recording level range in order to get a good level. Is there an adjustment I can make on the computer to give me a wider usable range for level control?

 

My system:

Audio-Technica AT-PL120 turntable with integrated pre-amp

HP Pavilion a1640n with Windows XP Media Edition (automatically kept up to date with patched by M$)

-the Realtek High Definition Audio card that comes with the HP system, driver version 5.10.0.5485

-DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
