There are several possibilities. 

1. You have a crummy line-in jack or a crummy plug

      Play around with mixer to route line-in to the speakers 
      at good volume. Plug a stereo source that has very different 
      stuff on left and right channels into your line in jack. 
      You should be able to hear different stuff on both speakers. 
      Don't try recording stereo until you can pass analog 
      stereo from line-in to your stereo speakers (or headphone 
      jack or line-out). 

2. As other have mentioned, Audacity is a wonderful program 
   for recording and editting audio.
