OK, that's good that you've found a way to get some headroom. On the other hand, if you're accomplishing it by intentionally mismatching the two components, you might want to take a look at your signal-to-noise ratio and your frequency response performance. Both can be affected. It seems strange that a line output from a consumer product would overload a high quality sound card. I still think you should call M-Audio. My guess is that they've dealt with this before.
