Hello. Recording from my guitar without a line level boosting device so its very very quiet. Using Audacity for limited sound editing.

How/can I increase the volume of the recording without making it distorted?

There are two ways I know of to increase the volume of your recording:

1 - Increase the line-in level (ie. gain) on the Windows audio mixer during recording

2 - Increase the amplitude of the track after recording (in Audacity)

Did you try both of these?

I would think that you would want to do a combination of 1 & 2 without pushing either to the maximum.
