If necessary look in the operating system mixer or in the audio interface's control panel for an input slider. For Windows see [Windows: accessing the Windows Sound controls](https://alphamanual.audacityteam.org/man/Windows:\_accessing\_the\_Windows\_Sound\_controls). To locate the system mixer for Mac and Linux see the help on our Wiki for [Mac](https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mac\_OS\_X) or [Linux](https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Linux\_System\_Mixer).

External recording devices such as [USB turntables or tapedecks](https://alphamanual.audacityteam.org/man/Recording\_with\_USB\_turntables) or interfaces may not have an operating system slider, especially on Mac. For all cases where there is no system slider, try to adjust the playback level on the recording device itself.
