The ultimate goal is to covert old analog recordings to digital, sounds

My system as a 1/8 phono jack that is marked "line-in", connected the
line output of my (known working) source to this port and I get nothing,
of course I'm assuming I could turn up the volume of the capture port
and hear something. I would have thought I'd see a line-in tab or
something similar.

Ok, so what am I missing?
You set the in-line port as the capture device instead of the mic port?
You do this in the GUI mixer (after you have make them visible in the
mixer options) or you can use amixer or alsamixer on the command line.
Another program to try would be audacity. It is more of a general
audio editing tool but it is quite capable for capturing and cleaning
up your analog audio.

the only thing I get with preferences in the GUI volume control (mixer?)
is a menu that says "select tracks to be visible" my only two checkboxes
are "Volume" and "Digital-1" both of which are checked.
