Sonar X1: Matching audio recording and playback volume?

After owning Sonar X1 studio for over a year, it is only recently that I started using it to record myself during practices. So, please bear with me with this question. I'm having great difficulty in matching the audio record volume I hear in my headphones while playing to the final recorded audio volume during playback (using same headphones). The playback is much, much louder. As far as I determine, all volume controls are exactly the same in Sonar. For the sake of completeness, I'm recording using an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra USB audio interface. Again, as far as I can determine, all its volumes are at the same level (max).I've tweaked output volume knobs without a lot of success.
 
While this problem is largely a nuisance, I'm asking this question largely to learn what on earth I'm doing wrong. Reading through Garrigus' book (while helpful) didn't seem to help me, hence this posting.
 
If you have a second, I'd appreciate some advice or a reference to a webpage or two that might help me.

Just to clarify, the reason Rocker suggested checking Gain is that the Gain widget on a track will raise the playback level, but not the live input level (or the direct-monitoring level if your not using input monitoring). It should be thought of as Clip Gain rather than Input Gain as you might expect.
