This is Sound: Recording tab, right-click over Mic > Properties,
then in "Mic Properties", click the Levels tab?

Off the cuff, once the mic device is selected as the Audacity
recording device, shouldn't the slider on the Levels tab move in 
tandem with the Audacity input level slider, as it would on 
XP with well-behaved drivers? Are you saying when the mic 
input is active, that moving the Audacity input slider to right will 
increase the recorded volume (as visible in the waveform,
and in the green VU meter when you play it back), but not be
reflected live in the red VU recording meter? 

In a different scenario, if you were recording line-in from 
a device that had its own output control, that is obviously 
a separate control but I'm almost certain increasing the   
output level and/or the Audacity input level should both 
be reflected in the recording meter.
