Distorted input sound (Line-in) - clipping edges

I have my tape deck connected via cinch > jack cable to my HP4730s laptop. There are two jack holes - headphones and mic/aux-in. When the stereo cable is connected, the sound is distorted.. clipping edges.
I checked alsamixer and Microphone boost is disabled. I tried also changing input volume in pavucontrol and gnome audio settings to absolutely minimum and it was still distorted whatever volume I set. I know the sound which is outputed from the tape deck is allright - tried with windows. I can't find any other setting what is wrong, why is the input sound so bad..
Here are some info abou my sound system:

I edited

/usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-input-mic.conf

and changed the code as wiki says https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … adjustment

[Element Mic Boost (+20dB)]
switch = select
volume = zero

Any idea? Thanks

Re: Distorted input sound (Line-in) - clipping edges

Sometimes I plug a console into my sound card and I have to open pavucontrol switch to input devices and change port to Line In. I think this is the problem you are having.

Re: Distorted input sound (Line-in) - clipping edges

On my laptop there's no line in item in pavucontrol.. There's only Microphone (internal) and Microphone (unplugged at this moment).. that's the "line-in".. On my Arch Gnome HTPC there is Line In. Right now I use HTPC for recording from external source because I was helpless with the laptop.
