I don't know which value it SHOULD be... would be interesting to see what the solution it.

Ahhh nice one
I haven't got the manual cause I bought the card off me brother who had lost it. So it should be set to -4db then?
I'll try this out when I get home tonight....

Looks like I might be using the Mix outputs to record anyway as this is the reply I got from A&H today when I asked them which output gives the best audio quality through my NAD C352 amp:
"Hi Dan,
Thanks for the email.
The RCA phono inputs on the NAD website look as though they are 770mV
(very close to 0dBu) rather than the standard -10dBV (around -7.7dBu).
This looks wrong to me.
After crawling the web I found a spec sheet for the amp, stating its
input sensitivity as 330mV (just over -10dBV). This makes more sense.
This is level matched to the 'record' output on the 92. The other
outputs are at a too higher level for the input of the NAD; the Mix 1
out is at +4dBu (pro-audio balanced connections, such as power amp
inputs) and the Mix 2 and Booth outputs are at -2dBu (impedance
balanced).
Anyway, to the answer. If you purchased a power amp/ rig with a 1.25V
(+4dBu) input sensitivity, you could use the XLR outs. The Mix 2 and
booth outputs again are for power amp type applications.
You could plug the Mix 2 or Booth out into the NAD, but this is a larger
signal than it is expecting, so the volume control on the NAD may be a
bit 'high geared'...!

Now THAT is how technical support should be

I know - can you imagine getting that level of support from Pionner?

All sorted
I switched the input signal level in the M-Audio Control Panel from +4db to -10db (so that it matched the output signal level of the Record out on the xone92) and now the recordings are loud and full of detail - I'm well chuffed.
