strange recording issues (fm>pc)

so I'm trying to record FM>PC, and I've noticed a few things.

a. the levels seem to be set extremely high, no matter what I do. the only way to combat this is to set the line in REALLY low, thus bumping my noise/hiss levels all to hell
b. the waveform is clipped off. It actually is happening in the upper channel as well, at a higher db level (around .8)

pic:

The setup is:
Boombox > Headphone out > 1/8th to RCA > RCA to 1/8th > PC

I've tested each component out, and the only thing that could be wrong is my soundcard...

Previous I got clean transfers with this exact same setup, but on playback with tape.

Is it something with levels in the volume panel? program settings? I get the same issue with both Audacity and CD Wave
