Mine was not where stated in Windows 7 either. I could only find the panel that Birro had as well.

However try this - Go to search programs and files (bottom left Windows orb)

Just type Line 6 Audio-Midi Devices and it should pop up in your search menu.

Click and your good to go.................

Or if you want to get technical its located here

C:\Windows\system32\L6DriverControlPanel.cpl

If Windows 7 is installed on C drive of course

Or Click All Programs menu

Go to Line 6 Folder

It should be under the "Tools" menu.

HTH

Assuming your using Windows 7, then you should have it in the control panel. If not reinstall the latest drivers.

"Go to Control Panel and select Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices. Select the Inputs and Recording tab to show two new controls: a single slider which controls the level sent to your recording application and a check box which provides an additional +18dB of gain."

In control panel, find the Line6 Audio Midi devices. Uncheck the +18dB box and then you should be good to go and able to adjust it as needed. This pegs all of my inputs too.

Which OS are you using? Windows or Mac?

If I take pictures of mine, you won't understand because it's in portuguese.

But follow this and you'll see the screen:

If it's Windows 7:

1 - Control Panel -> Hardware and Sounds -> Sound

2 - Recording -> Digital audio interface (must be Line 6 POD HD) -> Double click

3 - There are 4 upper tables, click on Levels (the last one)

4 - Reduce the Level to around 75 / 80 or less... only to cut the clipping... then you raise it until you get the limit before clipping

This should be the screen:

Strange. Uninstalled the drivers. Restarted. Reinstalled drivers and guess what. The settings are there.

I posted a screen shot of the original set up that confirmed versions 4.2.5.1 and showed no settings. It now looks like this:

On Cakewalk Sonar, please try this:

To check the audio input levels:

1.Click the Arm button in your new audio track. It will turn red to let you know that the track is now record enabled. Arming a track tells SONAR LE where you want to record material. It also turns the track's playback meter into a record meter. Every track you would like to record on needs to be armed first.
2.Perform as you would if you were recording. Watch the meter respond to the sounds you produce. If the meter does not respond, you may need to raise the volume of your instrument or preamp. Also, make sure that the Audio Engine button in the Transport toolbar is depressed.

If the meter never even comes close to the maximum, increase the input level. If the meter even occasionally reaches the maximum, decrease the input level.

= Input may be too low.
= Input is too loud.

When you are using WDM drivers this is done using the Windows mixer. You can access the Windows mixer by going to your Start Menu, choosing All Programs, Accessories, Entertainment, and then Volume Control. When the Volume Control mixer opens go to Options | Properties. Click on "Recording" and hit OK. The window title should now be "Record Control". This is where you can adjust input levels.

If you are using your sound card in ASIO driver mode the Windows mixer will not work. You will need to go to Options | Audio in SONAR LE and click the "General" tab. Now click on the "ASIO Panel" button. Your sound card's properties page will open and you will be able to adjust levels there. You may need to refer to the device's documentation for details.

NOTE: You can see whether you are using WDM or ASIO drivers by going to Options | Audio and clicking on the "Advanced" tab. Look in the "Driver Mode" field.
