Yes, I've occasionally seen that on my current Ion USB turntable (once 
every 40 sessions or so), on XP. Most of the time the Audacity input
slider affects the recorded level and the input meter (there is no 
system level control). 

In five years using USB external sound cards, I've mostly seen 
only perfect slider behaviour (Audacity and system sliders move in 
tandem, and the input meter is affected as well as the recorded level). 

[That excludes the 1.3.4/5 era where the Mixer Toolbar or its input 
dropdown were reluctant to appear with my USB sound cards, and the 
clipping hold lights in the VU meters rarely came on even when there
was clipping.]
