Audio Levels

I am using Vista Home Premium with Soundmax on board audio (Asus A8R-MVP
motherboard) and also a Soundblaster Live 24 card. I use the on board audio
to record from my stereo, LP's & Cassettes to MP3. If the level is set to 100
on line-in the sound comes through very distorted so i have to set the level
to about 10.
Everything was fine until i noticed all my recordings were distorted. I
looked at the levels for the Soundmax Line-In and it was back to 100, so i
altered it back to 10 but as i was watching the levels in Vista Sound
Settings it moved straight to 100. If i set it to 10 say ok and confirm, give
it 5 minutes and it will be back to 100. I can only assume something is
taking control of my audio levels but i don't know what?
Any help appreciated
