Are you sure ?  The line-in works fine !  Check CAREFULY
the output source level that it's not overloading the input.
I am not sure about the line-in specs and its range,
or if it's an issue.  While monitoring the VU on the PC
try playing with the recording slider, lowering it till it
is okay - But your problem sounds like an overloaded
input signal.  Does your tape out have a built-in VU ?
