Sorry about the small image. I am noticing that the line slider is half way up in the image yet "Mixer line is currently set to 0:0" the same as Mixer mix which whose slider is at the very bottom.

I am trying record from line or mix using audacity but not getting any volume control with either kmix or audacity.
 
Not sure why your slider differs with your mixer output, probably it points to a different mixer device? Not an expert, but you can try to set up your recording source with mixer() command:

$ mixer -f /dev/mixer =rec line


And if you want to add mix as a recording source as well:

$ mixer -f /dev/mixer +rec mix


You should be able to see something similar as follows:
Code: 
$ mixer                                         
Mixer vol      is currently set to  65:65
Mixer pcm      is currently set to 100:100
Mixer line     is currently set to   0:0
Mixer mic      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer mix      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer rec      is currently set to  75:75
Mixer igain    is currently set to   0:0
Mixer ogain    is currently set to  50:50
Recording source: line, mix


And turn your line volume up.

$ mixer -f /dev/mixer line 50:50

And turn your line volume up.

$ mixer -f /dev/mixer line 50:50
Click to expand...

tried
Code: 
mixer -f /dev/mixer line 50:50

and

Code: 
mixer -f /dev/mixer mix 50:50

but it was

Code: 
mixer -f /dev/mixer rec 50:50

that did the trick.
Thanks sixtydoses
