The PG Dynamics and Peak Limit plugins may not be available in live playing, but could be chewing up resources needlessly. Save that for after the recording of the parts. Actually, you shouldn't need them. Not "yet" anyway.

Check the Playback software mixers for that Creative card, sounds like some of the outputs may not be turned up enough. Try turning the Wave output all the way up in the Playback, then the Master, too, if available on the software mixer you have. The ?VSC DXi plays back on the Wave bus. The Creative mixer will also list a MIDI fader, but that is for the Soundfont engine and not the VSC DXi.

You still have not told us WHAT you are attempting to record, though. MIDI keyboard? Acoustic or electric guitar to Audio track? Vocal to audio track? Audio or MIDI recording?

Or Audio or MIDI live playing, for that matter.

Just so you know, I do not have to turn anything up or down in order to record either here. My soundcard settings are "normalled" such that I don't have to. Just punch the big red button and play. You should be able to adjust for same performance at your end.
