So by sliders (plural) you mean this problem is with the Audacity output 
slider as well? And the recommendation until fixed is that only the 
system mixer playback and recording levels are to be trusted? 

Are the Audacity and system sliders actually moving in tandem, or 
independently, so you don't really know what level you're at with the
Audacity slider? 

Can we get away with a P3 since no one as far as I know actually 
noticed it before? Well spotted, David...
