What exactly are you feeding into it? Usually samplers require a proper line input.
Do you maybe use a microphone or electric guitar without a preamp?

You know when i think about it,i asked myself that previously! But no,just running a cd player striaght into it. Might need a pre amp to boost the gain your saying. That haven't tried yet so we'll see. Thanks abunch

That's strange indeed, that should be fine... If the output of a CD player isn't hot enough, I dunno.
It's the line output, not headphone out, right?

If you're using the line out from the cd player it should be loud enough. Did you try a different cd player to check? I usually run everything through a mixer before sampling (with hardware), to get that extra gain when needed. Handy for EQing samples on the way in too.
