I suspect that someone switched on the pad on the DI, or on the mixer itself.

for those who gave advice with main mixer,

Headphoune out is a different impedance than line out, it's really easy
to overload a line input. I'm a little suspicious of the level into the
main mixer though; you should have had more than enough signal for the board.
I suspect there was some user error at the mixer.
this looks quite nice...as it's preamp AND
soundcard...if soundcard doesn't
make my signal louder, then I can use it as preamp..if I got it right.

does anyone used this with ubuntu 13.10 on modern laptops?
I use an ART DualPre (not the tube model) with ArchLinux regularly with
no issues at all. It worked fine when I used Fedora as well but I
switched to Arch a while back and havent tested it in a while. There
shouldn't be any driver issues, it follows the USB audio interface spec
pretty well.
The ART will give a much better signal, and the line outs use balanced 1/4"
TRS connectors so you can get a quieter signal if you use the appropriate
patch cables.
Good luck!
