Can anyone remind me simply how to turn the volume up on my inputs?  They got way too low some how.  They were work'n perfectly.

Welcome to the forum.
It depends on what audio device you're plugging into. Is it the computer's sound card or an external audio interface?
Whichever, the input is controlled by the audio device. Your recording program only records the signal sent to it by that audio device.
What program are you using and what are you plugging into?
