I recently changed the cartridge of my turntable from an Ortofon MC-1 Turbo high output moving coil (3.3 mV) to an Ortofon 2M Blue moving magnet (5.5 mV). Although this plays fine through my Marantz PM7200 amplifier, the signal is just too strong for the software program Cool Edit Pro 2.0 that I am using to record LP's to my PC via its on-board sound card (Intel Core 2 Duo Dragontail motherboard). The waveform gets clipped often, even at minimum volume settings in Windows. Same setup with the previous cartridge gave no volume problems at all.
If available, I can get an external sound card with a volume control (software or hardware), or maybe I can insert a volume control unit in the line in to the sound card.
I would appreciate any assistance - there has to be a solution.
