All I was suggesting was a temporary fix. The trick is to get away from a powered out to a line level in. By leaving the volume up and then turning the gain down, you are just temporarily fixing the problem 3ft down the line. (or however long that cord is) You wouldn't plug you 110v fan into a 220v line. Sure it'll run great for a little while, but will surely shorten it's life. The same goes for line voltage vs amplified voltage. At maximum output you can expect 2volts out of a line out. On the other hand, headphones typically run at 5volts.
